Deco blunt: “FC Porto is pure passion”, only Barça lured him from Dragão | OneFootball

Deco once again recalled his deep connection to FC Porto and explained that his move to Barcelona was the only change of club he was ever willing to consider in his career.

In a recent interview, the former Portugal international said he has “only two clubs” in his life: FC Porto, which he described as “pure passion”, and Barcelona, which he called the club of his childhood dreams. Deco also stressed that he has never hidden his feelings for the Porto badge.

The former midfielder also looked back on the moment of his transfer to Spanish football, making it clear that, despite all the talk at the time, he always maintained the same position: the only club that would make him leave FC Porto was Barcelona. That is exactly the path he ended up taking.

Deco thus made a statement marked by honesty and by his appreciation of the path he built at the Dragão, where he established himself as one of the most influential figures in the Porto team in the early 2000s, before heading to Catalonia.

The former player’s words reinforce the identity that continues to link him to FC Porto, a club with which he still has a strong emotional bond, while also acknowledging the importance Barcelona had in fulfilling a long-held personal ambition.
