Barcelona sporting director, Deco, don talk say di club no dey plan make dem active for di January transfer window, even though e no completely rule out di chance of small mid-season signing if matter serious. Dis na as di Catalan side still dey battle defensive wahala after di surprising exit of Inigo Martinez earlier for summer.
“We no expect say e go commot; in fact, we renew him contract for one more season. But we agree say if any special opportunity show for am at dis stage of him career, we go allow am move,” Deco talk during di club’s General Assembly when dem ask am about Martinez. “E shock us, but our word get value — because Barcelona big pass just contract paper.”
Even with di defensive gap, Deco still emphasize say di La Liga champions no get any immediate plan to sign new player come January. “I no see reason why we go enter di winter transfer market for now. Na di season go tell us wetin we really need.
No player don ask to leave, and dat one never affect our market,” e add. “But we go always dey ready. If anything change or we see person wey fit help us, we go act fast — but I no go mention any name.”
Barcelona No Get Plan to Spend for January Market
Deco also use di opportunity address contract renewal updates for key players like Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Ronald Araujo, and Pau Cubarsi — as di club dey focus on long-term stability and future planning. “We don renew Lamine Yamal, and dat one no be small thing. E no just be great player; e fit even become one global football icon for future,” Deco talk.
“We renew Fermin, wey represent di next generation, plus Pedri wey him contract dey near end. We still renew Gavi, even though e still dey recover from injury — because e remain one of di major pillars of our future. Same thing with Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi, and Gerard Martín.”
Di Barcelona chief also confirm say di club don renew head coach Hansi Flick and him backroom staff for one extra year. “We do am to give di team stability and structure wey go help us build long-term project. We no focus on signing plenty players; we wan protect di core of di squad. Our goal na to preserve di team essence, not just to buy anyhow. Dis work no start for summer — e don dey go on since.”
Deco Break Down Why Rashford, Garcia, and Bardghji Join

“E clear say we need Rashford because e dey give us attacking options for left and even right side, so we no go depend only on Lamine Yamal and Raphinha,” Deco explain. “For goalkeeping, Ter Stegen na world-class, but him injury force us to move sharp-sharp. We don dey monitor Joan Garcia for long, and e really wan join us. We pay him release clause properly, and we happy say we get am.”
On Roony Bardghji, Deco add: “E be right-winger with mad technical ability. We get similar players for La Masia, but e get extra edge wey make am unique — exactly wetin we need. People talk say we delay for market, but na lie. We extremely satisfied with wetin we achieve.”
