Barcelona’s sports director, Anderson Luis de Souza ‘Deco’, said on Thursday that the club acted “respectfully” with the Atlético de Madrid to try to fit the Argentine forward Julián Alvarez in the past record market.
The top executive of the Catalan football team acknowledged in an interview with RAC1 on Thursday that the offer for 100 million euros ($ 116 million ) for the Argentine international envisioned three payment terms, rather than the six that the red-and-white club revealed.
Deco, Barcelona's sports producer, spoke about the irrational negotiations and the Julián lvarez situation. We succeeded in doing things. We made an offer, but nothing was said. In the media, everything has already been said. They are not selling the person, they did. The truth, really? photograph. twitter. com/0Neo1yYF3B
He also refuted claims that the Catalan organization had pressed the player to make a public request to join another team, as he did in the previous World Cup.
We succeeded in doing things. There was a request, but there was no answer, and the media has since spoken much more about the situation than it has really happened. They told us they didn't want to sell the person after we made an offer, and we spoke with them politely and clearly.
Deco claimed that Hansi Flick's team does not need a goalkeeper because Raphael Dias ' Raphinha', who has scored eight goals in the first five games of the season, the newly incorporated Gabriel Jesus, who he described as" the player most like a' 9' area," and Hamza Abdelkarim, who are both young.

In this way, he praised Raphinha's strong start in the first gauges of the program and called it "world scandal" that neither the Portuguese ahead nor Pedro González" Pedri" were among the 30 finalists to win the Ballond'Or.
Deco, who was the favorite to win this unique award, did not rebuff this by referring to the bluegrana Lamine Yamal, who he claimed was "key" for Barça at crucial points last year and who won the World Cup with the Spanish national team.
