Barcelona releases public statement after Deco resignation rumours

FC Barcelona sporting director Deco was reportedly seeking to part ways with the club after just over a year in the job with the Catalan giants. Barcelona experienced a disastrous summer transfer window as they struggled to sign players due to their ongoing financial issues.

But still, Deco managed to bring in Dani Olmo despite missing out on prime target Nico Williams this summer. It was reported that the former Brazil international is considering his exit from the club as the club’s financial troubles won’t help him build a squad for the future.

Barcelona have put out an official statement vehemently denying any such rumors reported by the SPORT.

“FC Barcelona categorically denies the news that appeared this September 1 in the digital version of ‘Diario Sport’ putting in doubt the continuity of our director of football.

In response to the piece titled “Deco, disappointed, meditating his future”, FC Barcelona states that it could not be happier with the job being done by Deco an refutes this attack by ‘Diario Sport’ on the director of football precisely at the end of the transfer window.”
