@FabrizioRomano: 🔵🔴 Barça director Deco on Guardiola's return: "We are not speaking to any manager, really. Zero talks". "Pep Guardiola is under contract with another club, I’d never speak about him - it’d be disrespectful for Man City", told @esport3.
@FabrizioRomano: ⚠️ Barcelona director Deco: "We’d like not to sell any top player in the summer". "It’d be a mistake to sell Araujo and Frenkie de Jong. I’d like to improve the squad... not to sell players”.

@FabrizioRomano: 🇧🇷 Deco on being the agent of Raphinha when he joined Barça: "Arsenal and Chelsea wanted to sign Raphinha. They were both offering way more than Barça". "It was Jordi Cruyff who asked me about Raphinha for the first time… I never offered Raphinha to Barça".
