Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has met with prospective Director of Football Deco for the first time, although the Brazilian-Portuguese is yet to be confirmed in the role.
The general consensus is that Deco will replace the outgoing Mateu Alemany this summer, even if he has not yet been confirmed in his role.
SER Catalunya claimed Xavi held a meeting with Deco, Assistant Manager Oscar Hernandez and Alejandro Echevarria, who is Joan Laporta’s right-hand man when it comes to transfers. The subject of the meeting was to plan the upcoming transfer window. Barcelona said they are set to get approval from La Liga on their viability plan next week, which if they meet their targets set out, will allow them to sign players this summer.
