Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 54718, member: 636"] Barcelona sporting director Deco skipped the club's Asian tour this summer, breaking from his previous year's participation. Spanish publication AS confirmed his absence from the traveling squad. Deco remained at Barcelona headquarters to oversee transfer activities and player departures. The club pursues multiple roster changes during this transfer window. His presence enables direct supervision of outgoing player negotiations. Barcelona works to complete Pau Victor's move to Portuguese side Sporting Braga. Officials also seek contract termination with midfielder Oriol Romeu, who falls outside current tactical plans. The summer window brought acquisitions of Juan Garcia and Marcus Rashford to the Catalan club. Management has not confirmed additional signing intentions. Transfer market monitoring remains Deco's primary focus while teammates compete abroad. [/QUOTE]
