Deco announces Barcelona's ongoing transfer plans after key player departures

Barcelona's sporting director Deco confirmed the club is still active in the transfer market, indicating that further moves are being planned. While the team has strengthened with the signing of Rodri, they face the challenge of replacing Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, who have left the club. Deco stated that while the club has options in their current squad to address the loss of Torres, finding a suitable replacement for Lewandowski is more complicated. He emphasized that speculation continues about potential signings, particularly for a center-forward. Deco ruled out that the signing of Rodri was a reaction to Real Madrid's interest, clarifying that it was a calculated opportunity.
