Deco staying? Barcelona responds to rumors about their sporting director's departure

Barcelona has denied rumors about the possible dismissal of their sporting director, Deco, who has been in the role for just over a year. Recently, the newspaper Sport published an article suggesting that Deco's future at the club is uncertain and that discussions about his potential departure are underway. In response, Barcelona issued a statement firmly denying any plans to part ways with Deco. The club expressed high satisfaction with his work and rejected the criticism presented in the article.

Deco joined the club last summer, replacing Jordi Cruyff and Mateu Alemany, but has faced financial constraints that have complicated his role. Despite this, his work in the transfer market, including signings like Joao Felix, Joao Cancelo, Vitor Roque, and Dani Olmo, has been perceived as less successful.

The article also claimed that Deco himself is disappointed with his role at the club and is considering leaving. However, the official statement from Barcelona only confirms their satisfaction with his work and denies any consideration of his dismissal.
