"My dream was to play for Barcelona when I was young, and I realised that dream, I'm a fan of the club," he said. "Since retirement, I've kept friends there, I have a house there. "The club needed a change, a rebuild, and I wanted to help from the outside. It was not my idea to become sporting director. After his election, the president always said to me: 'You need to become sporting director.'"
Indeed, according to SPORT, Deco met with Dani Olmo's agent, Andy Bara, in Barcelona to review the injured midfielder's current situation and lay a roadmap for his recovery. The Spanish international has been struggling with a series of injuries this season, though both the club and his camp remain calm. If his progress continues, he could be back on the pitch within a week or two. As per the report, the meeting was positive, reflecting the strong relationship between the parties.
