Barcelona may not have been set to make many additions to their play team, but they have taken a first step with regard to a possible addition to their recruitment staff. The latter is that they have taken a step for the former technical secretary of West Ham United and Bayer Leverkusen Head Scout Tim Steid.
The recruitment department of Barcelona is currently led by director of Football Deco and his assistant Bojan Krkic, although his functions are less concerned with scouting and negotiation. The reconnaissance department, which has seen cuts in recent years, is led by Paulo Araujo. It seems that they feel that they can benefit from extra expertise.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona is in conversation to bring stabbing. The 46-year-old German first came to the prominent place in Werder Bremen and became their sports head before she became head of scout at Leverkusen for three years. In 2022 he left to take over a head of sports role at West Ham and later worked as a technical secretary.
