Sporting star to Barcelona? Deco: "We look at good players" | OneFootball

Luis Suárez has once again been linked with Barcelona. Deco, the current sporting director of the Catalan club, was asked about the alleged interest in the Sporting forward and, although he avoided going into detail, he also did not rule out the Colombian’s name.

On the sidelines of the Portugal Football Summit, the former Portugal international was confronted with reports linking Luis Suárez and Benfica’s Vangelis Pavlidis with Barcelona. Deco refused to confirm any concrete approach, limiting himself to explaining that it is normal for the club to “look at good players.”

The response therefore keeps the future of Sporting’s 'number 97' open as far as Catalan interest is concerned. Suárez is one of the main attacking references in Rui Borges’ team and has taken on a leading role in Sporting’s attack at the start of this season.

The Colombia international has once again become the first-choice option up front, after an early spell in which he shared the spotlight with Fotis Ioannidis. The forward’s performances therefore continue to attract attention outside Portugal.

It is worth remembering that this came up during the last summer transfer window, but it was quickly denied by the national press. Even so, the striker’s recent months at Alvalade have been a whirlwind.
