Barcelona have denied reports suggesting director of football Deco is contemplating resignation.
The rumors emerged despite the team’s impressive 7-0 thrashing of Real Valladolid on Saturday, marking their fourth La Liga win this season.
Deco, who took the reins as sporting director in August last year, has navigated the club through a challenging summer transfer window.
Despite economic constraints, he managed to secure the signing of Euro 2024 star Dani Olmo.

However, the failed pursuit of Nico Williams and internal conflicts have allegedly taken a toll on Deco.
A report claimed the former Portugal and Chelsea midfielder was considering his future at Barca due to clashes with agents and disagreements over transfer market strategy.
But Barcelona has swiftly dismissed the report, labeling it an “attack” on the club.
The denial comes as a relief to fans, who have grown accustomed to Deco’s shrewd transfer dealings.
Barcelona statement:
“FC Barcelona categorically denies the news that appeared this September 1 in the digital version of ‘Diario Sport’ putting in doubt the continuity of our director of football.
“In response to the piece titled ‘Deco, disappointed, meditating his future’,
FC Barcelona states that it could not be happier with the job being done by Deco and refutes this attack by ‘Diario Sport’ on the director of football precisely at the end of the transfer window.”
As the season unfolds, Barcelona will look to build on their impressive start, with Deco remaining at the helm.”
