As: Although Deco needs to stay and handle the player transfer, he then decides to participate in the Asian tour

According to the Ass, although Barcelona's sports director Deco needs to stay at the club to handle player transfers, he decided to participate in the Asian Tour.

Deco hopes to complete the departure of unwanted players as soon as possible to finalize the roster of players Frick will coach in the 2025/26 season. There are still some issues to be solved, especially in the case of Penia and Romeu, and the possible sale of a central defender or midfielder because of the overstaff at these positions.

However, in an unexpected move, Deco decided to join Barcelona's trip to Asia and arrived at the team concentration hotel in Seoul before 3 pm local time. Deco has been welcomed by club executives, and the Portuguese will watch the team's last two friendly matches, namely the match against Seoul FC this afternoon and the match against Daegu FC next Monday.

Deco will use the trip to discuss the progress of the negotiations with Flick and the club's senior management. Sports Deputy Director Rafa Ust has returned from Japan in advance to meet with the Sports Director because the club will soon need to comply with the 1:1 rule and have the ability to register all new players.

In the past few days, the sports director has completed the transfer operation of Paul Victor and the contract renewal of Comte until 2030, who personally confirmed the news yesterday.
