When the winter transfer market seemed to be getting more complicated for FC Barcelona, Deco appears to have found the solution. It's no wonder: the roadmap for the Catalan team involves strengthening the team led by Hansi Flick with at least one or two important players in Europe. To achieve this, obviously, there must be departures from the first team considering that Barça is already operating under the 1:1 rule in purely financial terms.
Meanwhile, as long as there are no sales or loans in the coming days, the operations that the sports management has in mind and has been working on for months will become more complicated. But everything indicates that Deco has managed to close an essential deal for the Catalan club's finances, not only because of the space it frees up but also because of the money it brings. Hansi Flick has already given the "OK," and now everything is in the hands of this young talent from FC Barcelona.
Hansi Flick has no doubts
If there is someone at Barça who continuously requests to strengthen the team, it is Hansi Flick. The German coach, along with his team, has communicated to Laporta and Deco's sports management the need to sign certain elite stars. This is to reinforce specific positions, have reliable substitutes, and finally, to find the regularity of the first team on the field.
In this regard, Deco closing this deal is one of the best pieces of news Flick could receive, considering that the departure of this young talent wouldn't affect his scheme. Additionally, it would bring significant figures to the club's coffers and not only allow Barça to free up salary mass but also have the necessary margin to close the deal for Rashford. Everything is practically sealed and could be made official next week, according to 'El Nacional,' knowing that Barça is in a hurry.
Decided departure
The latest reports circulating around FC Barcelona agree that there is a player whose departure is practically definitive, and that is none other than Eric García. His situation at the Catalan club hasn't been the easiest, especially considering the competition in his position. With the recovery and renewal of Ronald Araújo, it is very difficult for the young Spanish defender to find his place in Flick's scheme, as well as continuity on the field.
Eric García hasn't managed to convince the German coach that he deserves a spot in the starting eleven despite being a recurring option in the rotation. Today, it is undeniable that Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí, and Íñigo Martínez are ahead of him in the competition, not to mention that Andreas Christensen has been sidelined due to injury. Thus, aware of Girona's interest, which insists on his signing, Deco hasn't hesitated and has already accepted the conditions of the Catalan team.
