The Catalan team is still seeking to strengthen its ranks with the strongest elements, taking into account the difficult financial situation that the team is experiencing. Therefore, there are special conditions for the players that Barcelona wants to sign.
\nIn light of this, Portuguese Deco, the sporting director of the Spanish team Barcelona, dreams of a specific deal to bring to the Catalan team in the current winter transfer period.
\nThis comes at a time when some press reports in Spain indicate that there is no possibility of new deals to support Xavi Hernandez\u2019s squad this January due to the club\u2019s financial situation.
\nThe Spanish newspaper \u201cAS\u201d reported that Deco chose Englishman Kalvin Phillips, and the Portuguese is very keen to bring him to the Camp Nou before the winter Mercato closes, and he sees the player as a strong addition to Xavi\u2019s squad.
\nDeco believes that Phillips is able to give Barcelona the balance it is missing in the squad, provided that the deal is on loan until the end of the season only, especially in the focal position, which the Catalan team has been suffering from since the beginning of the season.
\nThe Spanish newspaper believes that the idea of Phillips arriving to Barcelona this January seems difficult, but not impossible, stating that the club will try to reach an agreement to bring the player.
\nIt is noteworthy that the player did not get a chance at City because he did not enter Pep Guardiola\u2019s system quickly, and injuries prevented him from expressing his abilities and potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
