Villas-Boas on Deco talks over Varela: “He was sold false dreams” | OneFootball

After already yesterday denying contacts with Barcelona over Kiwior, André Villas-Boas again addressed the issue this Thursday, making it clear that the last time he spoke with Deco, the main topic was the controversy surrounding Cardoso Varela.

“There were discussions about a possible involvement of Barcelona, which Deco denied to me. Our conversations have been about that and about some Barcelona players who may interest FC Porto, players from La Masia. In Cardoso Varela’s case, he was sold false dreams. He ended up moving to an amateur club in Croatia under an exception law. Cardoso Varela’s father was set up in Croatia, in a printing company, all very dubious and strange. Meanwhile, the boy has been pushed toward Dinamo Zagreb and is trying to find a future. Unfortunately, his future is not at FC Porto. He is not entirely to blame in this process, but he was sold dreams,” he said at Rádio Renascença’s Bola Branca Conference.
