According to Jijantes (via SPORT), FC Barcelona sporting director Deco met with agent Ali Barat, from Epic Sports Agency, this morning at a hotel in the Catalan capital.
The meeting was brief and, according to sources present, it was more of a routine or protocol-based encounter.
As per the report, Barat, a well-known football agent across Europe, was already in Barcelona due to several meetings scheduled in recent days and took advantage of his time in the city to meet with Deco, with whom he has maintained a good relationship for quite some time.
Among Ali Barat’s clients is Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who spent the ongoing season on loan at Bayern Munich.
However, any possibility involving the striker is considered extremely complicated, given his contract runs until 2023, and Barcelona have not made any enquiries about him.
The Blaugrana have already decided on the club’s main target for what is expected to be an intense summer: Joao Pedro, Jackson’s Chelsea teammate.
Deco has decided that the Chelsea striker possesses all the qualities needed to become Barcelona’s next signing and has also held talks with the Brazilian’s agent.
