Deco has his signing very easy: 'I've always been a Barça fan, it's my dream to play there'

Deco designs Barça's ambitious signing plan with international options and an unexpected return

Deco keeps working tirelessly in the transfer market for Barça. He is fully aware of Barça's squad's weaknesses and strengths, and he intends to act accordingly to balance the situation. He knows that the midfield doesn't need more reinforcements, but he acknowledges that there are other areas of the field, such as the attacking line or the full-backs, that do require them.

In this regard, after meeting with Hansi Flick several times, Deco has made the decision to bring in, whenever possible, a winger, two full-backs, and a "9". This plan responds to the need to increase Barça's squad depth and give Flick real options. The strategy shows Deco's willingness to operate with precision in the market.

Position categories and names on Barça's list

When it comes to the wing-backs, Deco's Barça still hasn't decided who to go for. In the attacking front, names like Erling Haaland, Etta Eyong, or Julián Álvarez have started to be strongly linked to reinforce Barça. To strengthen the wings, Marcus Rashford seems to have been the safest option for Deco and his coaching staff.

However, in recent hours, another winger with great potential has publicly admitted to being a Barça fan and has shown interest, catching Deco's attention. This is Jan Virgili, a player from RCD Mallorca, who wants to return to Barça. "If one day the doors of Barça open for me, I'd be delighted. It was and still is my dream," Virgili said in a recent interview.

The transfer opportunity for Barça that Deco values

Jan Virgili left Barça just a few months ago due to a lack of opportunities, but it seems that he is already thinking about his return. Barça kept a buy-back option so Virgili could come back in the future. Deco has listened to his words and is already considering his possible return to Barça within the transfer plan.

Virgili's statement serves as both an emotional and strategic factor for Deco, who understands that having a homegrown player with the right attitude is an advantage. If Barça decides to take advantage of the buy-back option, signing Virgili could be very affordable and consistent with Deco's plan to strengthen the team with talent.
