Barcelona are expected to be active in the transfer market this month, and it has been reported that they hope to make at least one signing, and it will likely be Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. Deco, the club’s sports director, will be in charge of solving the problem, although it will not be easy due to the current financial problems.
Deco is currently in Lisbon with the first team for the Champions League match against Benfica, which he predicts will be difficult for Hansi Flick’s team (via Sport).
“I know very well, it is a difficult stadium. Their fans push a lot, they are very excited. In the Champions League there are atmospheres like that and if we want to go this far, we want to do it this way.”
Before kick-off, Deco was reported to have spoken to an intermediary in the Rashford case, and Barcelona are very interested in bringing in the English attacker before the winter transfer window closes. However, the Portuguese refused to refer to specific agreements and instead stated that the priority is not for anyone to sign them, but for them to be enforced from within.
“We are talking about fair play. In the last few days, if we can strengthen the team, we will try, but as of today there is nothing. The priority is the renewals of the important players in the squad, and then we could focus on one or two reinforcements, but it is not something that the coach has asked of us.”
“I don’t know (about Racing). “I know the Benfica players but we don’t follow anyone in particular.”
Ronald Araujo’s renewal is something Deco is working on and while it makes sense for him to be a priority for Barcelona, fans will be very keen to see at least one signing added to Hansi Flick’s squad. before the end of the month. . For now, it remains to be seen if that ends up happening.
