Riquelme Felipe offered to Barcelona, says Catalan radio; Deco knows him | OneFootball

Young Fluminense forward Riquelme Felipe was mentioned on the Catalan sports show Què t’hi jugues, on SER Catalunya radio, which revealed that the 19-year-old player was recently offered to Barcelona.

According to the information shared on the show, Riquelme Felipe’s name was put on the table for Barcelona’s board, but the Spanish club has not yet responded regarding the possibility of a deal.

The possible approach is also drawing attention because of the connection with Deco, Barcelona’s current sporting director and a Fluminense idol. The executive had already mentioned the young Fluminense player in an interview with Romário TV, run by former striker Romário, as one of the most promising players in Brazilian football who has caught his attention.

A product of the Xerém youth academy, Riquelme Felipe is regarded as one of the top prospects of his generation at Fluminense.

Deco, who played for Fluminense between 2010 and 2013 and won two Brazilian league titles with the club, is now one of the central figures in Barcelona’s sporting planning, which naturally increases attention on the young talents mentioned by the executive.
