Barcelona director Deco rules out January signings - 'We are happy with the squad' | Barca Universal

"the open training session was fun, but the match is different, it has another dimension. We are happy to be here, it is special, also for the coach, who has never been here, but the important thing is that we also win the three points. The stadium is more impressive than before"

"They are players who have been at the highest level for several years, and although the Spotify Camp Nou is impressive, once the match starts they will be focused on the game. The first thing is to thank the people who supported us at Montjuïc, where we won a league."

"Inigo helped us a lot. The point is not to miss Inigo. For the moment, we are not thinking about reinforcing. We are happy with the squad. We want the best players to return so we can have the most competitive squad possible."

"There is no problem. Barça need the national team and the national team need Barça. I have spoken with Karanka, there is good communication, maybe it did not come at the desired moment,"

Deco expressed enthusiasm about the team's full return to the Spotify Camp Nou, noting the match atmosphere has a different, larger dimension than an open training. He highlighted that the occasion is special for the coach, that five of nine players who had never played at the stadium are starting, and that experienced players will focus once the match begins. Deco thanked supporters at Montjuïc for their role in a previous league win. He ruled out signing a centre-back immediately after Inigo Martínez's departure, saying the club is happy with the squad. He also reported good communication with the Spanish national team and Karanka following the Lamine Yamal controversy.
