This Tuesday, Deco gave an interview to the official Barça website. The opportunity for the sporting director to respond to criticism regarding the transfer window and the lack of reinforcements this summer. “I don’t think (the squad is right, editor’s note). Let’s not forget that we have Gavi, Frenkie (de Jong), who continues to recover. We have Ronald Koeman, Christensen. When they come back, the problem will be for the coach because they won’t be able to play everything. I think that last year we had a bigger squad. This year, Hector and Sergi Domínguez can play… they have taken a step forward.”
Then he was asked about Nico Williams or more broadly about the winger’s file. “I repeat. Today we have Raphinha, Ferran, the return of Ansu (he was very good in pre-season), Lamine, players like Fermín or Olmo who can play in that position. To sign someone, it had to be a very high-level player. With the signing of Dani, it gave us more options. It’s not that we didn’t talk to the players, but we had other priorities.” Finally, he admitted to having refused offers for Raphinha.
