Barcelona in talks with Deco to replace Alemany as sporting director

Barcelona are in talks with their former player, Deco, to take over as the new sporting director. He is tempted by the offer to replace the outgoing Mateu Alemany, and conversations are progressing well for him to assume the role. 

Right now, he serves as a player agent and represents Raphinha. His influence was vital in bringing the winger over from Leeds United amidst offers from Chelsea last summer.

Deco in talks with Barcelona to become new sporting director 

First team manager Xavi Hernandez was recently asked about the links to Deco, and whether he would replace Mateu Alemany. Here is what he had to say about the matter: “It’s not the time to talk about it, there’s nothing official. The only thing that exists at the moment is that Mateu Alemany will leave at the end of the season.” 

Barcelona have a very important summer transfer window ahead of them. They need to sign new players, while also trimming the squad, and ensuring that they comply with FFP rules set by La Liga. 

According to AS, Xavi and Deco have had an initial meeting to discuss their plans for next season. Alemany is expected to oversee their business this summer, but Deco’s input will be very important in taking the club further. 

A potential replacement for Sergio Busquets, and the return of Lionel Messi will only be some of the pressing topics that need to be addressed by the time the transfer window comes around.
