Barcelona sporting director Deco revealed the club has no plans of signing reinforcements during the winter transfer window, though the option has not been entirely ruled out.
The defending Spanish champions have yet to recreate their dominant form of the 2024–25 season, much in part due to injuries and the departure of Iñigo Martínez. Barcelona trail Real Madrid in the La Liga standings and were mere seconds away from suffering three straight defeats to kick off October.
Glaring weaknesses in defense and a lack of depth at striker give the Catalans a blueprint of which upgrades to potentially acquire come January, but Deco is not sounding any alarm bells just yet.
“I don’t see us having to go to the winter transfer market for the moment,” the sporting director told the media after his speech at the Assembly of Delegates.
“The season will tell you a lot. No player has asked to leave, and that hasn’t conditioned the market for us. [But] we’ll be there whenever we need to.
“If something gets out of hand or if we need or want a player—I won’t name names—we’ll be attentive,” Deco finished.
