Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, has responded to recent speculation linking the club to Manchester City star Erling Haaland, stating that any potential move for Haaland would depend on whether he aligns with Barcelona’s current project needs.
“First of all, we should check if Haaland is what we need for our project,” Deco explained, highlighting that Barcelona’s focus is not on pursuing a new striker at the moment due to the presence of seasoned forward Robert Lewandowski. “We’re not working on strikers as of now, as we’ve Lewandowski. We will see at the right moment,” he added, indicating a cautious approach.
Deco’s remarks reflect Barcelona’s strategy of aligning player signings with the club’s long-term vision rather than solely focusing on high-profile names. With Lewandowski leading the attack, Barcelona seems intent on maintaining squad stability while carefully assessing future options.
This measured approach underscores Barça’s commitment to a project-oriented recruitment policy, focusing on sustainability and squad cohesion as the club navigates financial considerations and ambitious goals.
