'No one wants to leave': Deco unveils Barcelona transfer plan for this summer

26

Barcelona's sporting director Deco, has played down the likelihood of the club making any new signings or even player sales this summer.

"I don't think this team, given its dynamic and joy, has anyone willing to leave," Deco said, in response to potential exits.

"We've already renewed most of the contracts, now we have to take care of those who are here. Last year, I said we couldn't lose anyone.

"I think it's the same now. If we can improve, it's always possible, but the key is to keep what we have consolidated for the coming years.

"We feel very dependent on Raphinha, on Lamine. Perhaps we need similar players, a solution for them.

"The squad is quite balanced, and we also have a lot of good things at the core," Deco said.

Barcelona are not expected to sell players this summer, with the exception of players like Ansu Fati and Ronald Araujo, who could leave in search of regular playing time.

As for new signings, Barcelona's urgent need is their full-back, where they lack an experienced cover for Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde.
