"I don't understand all the noise around Frenkie, we're very happy with him"

FC Barcelona ended a tough and stressful summer transfer window on tiptoe after the signing of Dani Olmo, the big signing of the last window, in the last few days. A few days ago, Joan Laporta himself came out to review the transfer window, now it is Deco, in ‘AS’, who responds to issues that have to do with the current situation at FC Barcelona. The Portuguese had his work cut out, but he is happy with what has been achieved.
"We have done what we had to do. People want signings every year, but clubs don't have to sign every year. They have to organise themselves, renew players. Create the basis for the present and the future. That's what we have tried to do. Hansi Flick? The moment Barca knew about Xavi's decision, we focused on him. He has experience, calmness. A coach with character, the ability to manage and who has experienced a lot of things. That's the path we want to follow," Deco said at the start.
A market that has had Dani Olmo as their main target: "If the players want to come, it's easier to fight. In Dani's case it was like that. From the first moment he showed that he wanted to come to Barca, that he had the desire to win titles and make history at the club. Then it's a question of reaching an agreement between club and player. Everything is easier". One issue led to another, that of Nico Williams. With an answer that had little to do with Dani's: "I don't talk about players who don't play for Barca".
He was asked about many names, but he wanted to give his more relaxed opinion about Frenkie de Jong, injured and criticised for his high salary: "I don't understand all the noise around Frenkie. He has a contract with Barca and we are very happy with him. He's a player we're anxious to get back and we need Frenkie. We need Frenkie. The future? We want him to continue, but the player will decide in his own time, it's not an issue for now. What matters is that he comes back to play for us, we need him and we esteem him a lot".
