The Catalan newspaper Sport said that Deco, the new sports director of FC Barcelona to succeed Jordi Cruyff, is preparing for his first major strike with the Catalan club in his new position.
The signing of Vitor Roque was one of the strikes Jordi Cruyff wanted to deliver before leaving Barcelona. The Blaugrana’s sporting director has always been clear that the Brazilian would become a global star and that he could be one of those strategic deals that would shape the future of the Catalan club.
There is a good chance for Barcelona to include a new Vinicius on the table, but at a cheaper price, thus resolving the issue of Lewandowski’s replacement in the not-too-distant future.
For this reason, Barcelona specifically commissioned Deco to start pulling the strings in Brazil so that Vitor Roque would not escape.
There was a meeting in Barcelona as soon as the January market closed, during which the Blaugrana club asked Deco to negotiate with the striker’s agents and enable Barcelona to sign him. And Deco accomplished his mission without even knowing if the club would ever get enough money to close the operation.
Deco will now take over the sporting management of the club, succeeding Jordi Cruyff, and it is also clear that there is a star for the future in Vitor Roque.
After several meetings it is clear that Deco’s first challenge will be to make the striker’s arrival possible either this summer or the following year depending on the club’s financial availability. And it is that Barcelona has already drawn the lines of the new sporting project and there will be no money for everything.
The priority goals are the return of Messi with yes or yes and the reconfiguration of the midfield after the departure of Sergio Busquets. From there, it will all depend on the exits that can happen.
But it will all depend on the offers that come in for the players who have been selected to leave. And what is clear about Deco is that if there is to be an income, an effort should be made to bring in Vitor Roc before other teams like Arsenal step in. In Brazil, they will sell the player to the highest bidder, no matter how excited Vitor Roque is to get to the Camp Nou.
