Barça is going through a period of restructuring, and the results are the perfect reflection of that. Deco is working hard alongside the rest of the board, and the first news is already arriving. The Portuguese is being heavily criticized, but the reality is that his job is not an easy task.
Deco hasn't managed to finalize the signing of Nico Williams, and part of the fans blame and criticize him through social media. After learning the response from the winger of the Basque team, the sporting director of the Catalan team has started working with Flick. Unfortunately for everyone, the tragic accident that Liverpool has had to endure has stopped everything.
Barça and their greatest desire
Last year, Barça wanted to secure Nico's services, but in the end, the star preferred to stay at Athletic Club. This year, those from the City of Barcelona had already given up, but it was the young player who contacted the club. Upon hearing this news, Deco started working to try to finalize that signing he has been pursuing for a year.
Yesterday, the Basque team announced that Nico renewed with them and that he wasn't going to leave, so Deco had to make a decision. The Portuguese has resumed an operation from the past: the signing of Luis Díaz. The Colombian has been on the list of favorites for a long time, but his high price complicates the operation.
To make matters worse, the recent passing of Diogo Jota has made everything even more complicated, since Liverpool has taken a break. Obviously, in these cases, soccer is the least important thing; the English know this, which is why they've pulled the handbrake. In addition, Luis Díaz plays in the position where Diogo used to play, so they're not considering selling him.
Luis Díaz and Deco, a special relationship
Last year, Deco already met with Luis Díaz's entourage to try to sign him for this past season. It wasn't possible, but the footballer was left wanting to wear the Catalans' jersey. Now, it was desired that the deal could happen, but the void Jota has left in the English attack makes it completely impossible.
Deco will keep trying, but everything suggests that he won't manage to convince Liverpool. Although nothing can ever be completely ruled out, it's unlikely that the Colombian will end up at Barça, at least for now.
