Deco is preparing the club’s next move to strengthen the defence, believing the deal is realistic both financially and from a sporting perspective.
FC Barcelona continue working to strengthen Hansi Flick’s squad before the transfer window closes. While much of the attention has focused on attacking reinforcements in recent weeks, the sporting department is also looking to improve the back line and has now set a new defensive operation in motion.
The player attracting the most attention is Aymeric Laporte. The Spain international is highly regarded within the club and matches several of the qualities Deco is looking for to reinforce Barcelona’s defence.
Barça prepare their next move
According to recent reports, Barcelona plan to contact Laporte’s representatives to assess the defender’s willingness to join the club. The initial objective is to determine whether the player is interested before taking further steps in the process.
If the response is positive, Barça intend to open direct discussions with the centre-back. Those conversations would help establish whether a move could become a realistic possibility during this transfer window.
A profile that appeals to Deco
Within the sporting department, Laporte is viewed as a player who offers an ideal balance of quality and experience. His top-level pedigree, familiarity with LaLiga, and leadership qualities make him an attractive option for Hansi Flick’s project.
In addition, his contractual situation suggests the deal could be financially manageable. A reported release clause of around €15 million strengthens the belief that he could represent one of the market’s best-value opportunities.
Talks resume after the World Cup
Initial contacts between the parties reportedly took place during Barcelona’s pre-season tour of the United States. At that stage, both sides agreed to postpone further discussions until after the World Cup, with the club now ready to revisit the situation.
Barcelona’s interest is genuine, and the coming days could prove decisive in determining whether the operation moves forward. Deco has already begun laying the groundwork, with Aymeric Laporte emerging as one of Barça’s leading defensive targets this summer.
Caution Note: This report is based on transfer speculation and media reports. Neither FC Barcelona nor Aymeric Laporte have officially confirmed any negotiations, so the situation could change as the transfer window progresses.
