FC Barcelona director Deco held an informal meeting with agent Javi Garrido, who represents Paris Saint-Germain's Kang-in Lee, and the father of Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra. The meeting's primary purpose was to monitor the transfer market and gather information on potential future opportunities for the club.
Sources indicate that the discussion was informal, centering on football-related matters rather than active transfer negotiations. Deco, Garrido, and Javi Guerra's father, who works for the agency representing the Valencia player, exchanged views on various players and current market situations.
Javi Guerra was among the names discussed. The Valencia midfielder has been linked with Barcelona previously, and his current situation was reportedly brought up. Barcelona's interest in Guerra is not new, with Deco having inquired about him on past occasions, reflecting the club's long-term admiration. However, there are no formal talks or transfer plans currently underway, and Guerra's father recently stated that the player remains content at Valencia.
The situation of PSG midfielder Kang-in Lee was also addressed. The South Korean international, who has attracted interest from other clubs like Atletico Madrid, was discussed within a general market context. Barcelona is not pursuing a transfer for Lee at this stage but continues to monitor developments surrounding the player.
Discussions also covered younger talents represented by Garrido's agency, including Tommy Marques. While the meeting attracted attention due to the high-profile individuals and players mentioned, sources close to the event emphasized it was not the initiation of any transfer operation. Instead, it was described as part of Barcelona's ongoing strategy to maintain industry relationships and stay informed about the market before making future decisions. Deco has reportedly held similar informational meetings with various agents and club directors in recent months.
