And follow MDHowever, he wanted to delay his arrival until September. Among the reasons given was that Deco wanted time to move his family from Sao Paulo to Barcelona, ​​and disrespecting the fact that Alemany and Jordi Cruyff have been working on this window for months.

In addition, he wants to continue to be Raphinha’s agent for the rest of the summer. The Brazilian winger has performed quite well in his first season at the Camp Nou, but there are suggestions he could leave.
