The Catalan club is carefully assessing all options
Sports director Barcelona Deco spoke about the situation with work on the transfer market. The key and partly philosophical thesis of the Portuguese manager is that the club has its own plans and does not plan transfers in the winter.
“We are focused on Ter Stegen returning from injury. We analyze everything.”
“Wojciech Szczesny? He came to give us balance and competition. We’re happy with what he’s doing.”
“There is a dynamic. There are times when you think one thing because the need arises, but as the season progresses, anything can happen. In this case, we do not plan any signings. There will come a time when we will plan what we are going to do in the future, but we will not make those decisions now.”
“Decisions now, if they can’t be made, don’t mean they have to be made next year. The dynamics are changing and today we are happy with what we have.”
Barcelona are experiencing problems in the goalkeeping position after Marc-Andre ter Stegen suffered a serious injury. The blue garnets even had to pull Wojciech Szczesny out of retirement and enter him instead of the German for the Champions League. Lately, the Cules goal has been successfully defended by yesterday’s understudy, Iñaki Pena.
The Blaugranas are having a strong season: they defeated Real Madrid in El Clasico (4:0) at the Santiago Bernabeu, lead La Liga with a six-point lead over the Blancos and took three wins in four rounds of the Champions League.
On November 23, Hans-Dieter Flick’s team will play away against Celta Vigo, after which, on November 26, they will host Brest in the Champions League.
