Barca sporting director Deco issues transfer update on futures of three stars

Barcelona Sporting Director Deco has given an update on the future of three of the club's stars.

The three players are connected to potential movements of the club during the transfer star.

Deco admitted that one of the players could leave, but emphasized that he wanted the other two to stay.

Barcelona has already made an important signature this summer and kept keeper Joan Garcia from Espanyol.

In terms of departure, Clement Lenglet had terminated his contract by mutual permission to enable him to permanently join Atletico Madrid, while younger Alex Valle joined Como.

Barcelona will now focus on further success after winning Liga and the Copa del Rey last season.

Frenkie de Jong has only left his contract for a year and has often been associated with Manchester United.

However, Deco is determined to keep the midfielder, who made 46 performances for Barcelona on all competitions last season.

Deco said to La Vanguardia: 'The Frenkie we had this season is the Frenkie we want. We want to continue with Frenkie, he has a year on his contract and we will calmly analyze things. '

Defender Ronald Araujo has meanwhile endured problems with injuries last season, but Deco still greatly appreciates the Uruguay International and is determined to keep him.

Deco said: 'What we want is to improve the team, not making it worse. And if we lose an important piece, we make it worse. Ronald has a contract, has renewed and has suffered a difficult season, with unfair criticism.

“He is one of the best center backs in the world. Abandoned is not in Ronald's plans. He wants to return to his best level. '

A player who could leave Barcelona is Ansu Fati.

The winger was on the edge for Barcelona last season and could be allowed on loan so that he can play regularly, with Monaco a potential destination.

Deco said: 'With the age he is and the career he has had, he cannot play without. We are open not to draw up problems if he wants to leave. Monaco spoke to us. Ansu has a contract, if they ask him, it would be a loan. He is 23 years old, we talk about him as if he were 30, but for me he still has a lot to grow and learn. '

Athletic Bilbao -Vleugel player Nico Williams is said to be drawing for Barcelona this summer.
