Deco's friend recommends his signing: 'I do my job, I'll always help Barça'

Since Deco took on responsibilities in the sporting management of Barça, he has received more criticism than praise. Many doubted his arrival due to the demands of a historic board. Even so, it can't be denied that he has secured some good signings, and now he seems to be working on an addition with a long-term perspective.

The first decisions by Deco aimed to renew the squad with a balance between young talent and experience. The moves weren't always popular, but some have started to yield interesting results. It's clear that the club is committed to a gradual rebuild, aware of the financial limitations and the need to build a project.

Deco and André Cury's support

In this context, the name of Éderson, Atalanta's central midfielder, comes up. Éderson has been under observation for some time due to his physique, tireless work rate, and ability to compete in demanding leagues. According to statements from agent André Cury, this player fits perfectly with what Barça currently need to bring solidity to the midfield.

Cury was clear: "A player I think can adapt very well to Barça's playing system, bringing a lot of physicality and work rate, is Éderson, who plays for Atalanta." It would be a real opportunity because his contract is in its final stretch.

Moreover, Cury didn't hesitate to highlight his connection with Deco: "I do my job, I point out the players I have to point out. I'll always help with operations because I have a very special affection for Barça..."

Éderson's addition would mean a physical and tactical boost in the culé midfield. His profile, with tireless coverage and strong ball recovery, can address the shortcomings the team has recently shown in European competitions. With his arrival, Barça would gain muscle, control, and balance—essential elements to compete in Europe with guarantees.

Éderson is a real possibility

For Deco, signing Éderson would be a smart move: not only because of his sporting profile, but also because of his cost—Atalanta could accept a figure close to €30-40 million. That financial range fits better with the club's current budget limitations. It allows the midfield to be strengthened without compromising the financial future.

This possible signing comes at a time when Barça need reinforcements that provide immediate stability. The season is demanding and the squad has shown weaknesses when the pace increases. A player like Éderson, with European experience and outstanding physicality, can be key to regaining competitiveness in both areas: domestic and international.
