Desporto Mercado de Transferências

The first season of Deco as sporting director of Barcelona is about to end, and the assessment carried out this Wednesday by the Spanish newspaper As, is far from being the most positive.

The director closed the loans of João Cancelo and João Félix with Manchester City and Atlético de Madrid, respectively, at the end of the summer transfer market, and, although the first has performed, the second continues to divide opinions.

The publication records that the right-back was an option to the liking of Xavi Hernández, unlike the forward, who was never considered a priority. A vision that, even so, the former Portuguese international chose to ignore.

Deco also presented Iñigo Martínez, Ilkay Gundogan and Oriol Romeu as reinforcements, but the operations were already practically sealed by his predecessor, Mateu Alemany. On the other hand, he could not prevent Ousmane Dembélé from leaving for Paris Saint-Germain, at 'zero cost'.

In the winter window, the coach asked him for a midfielder like Martín Zubimendi, Joshua Kimmich or Giovani Lo Celso. However, the only 'gift' he received was the early arrival of the young forward Vítor Roque.
