"Now, according to AS, Deco has already contacted Tommy Marques' entourage to discuss a new contract for the teenage gem. Last year, the 19-year-old starlet renewed his contract with the Blaugrana until June 2027. Since then, he has become a regular in first-team training and has now made his maiden senior appearance as well. Moreover, Barcelona are aware that several European teams are watching him with great interest. As such, Deco has made initial contacts to discuss a new deal for the young midfield starlet."
"The report further states that Barça head coach Hansi Flick has already made it clear to Marques that he counts on him to be a full member of the first team from next summer onwards. So, everything suggests that Marques will have a spot in the first-team squad next season and Deco has already started work on securing his renewal."
