Each system: Deco meets with the scout leader to meet the brokerage company representatives and continue to pay attention to the South American market

per team report that although the transfer market was closed more than three weeks ago, Club Barcelona is still paying close attention to every trend in the market. The sports management department led by Deco keeps a high focus on any opportunities that may arise in the international market. The club made it clear that sports planning is not restricted by the calendar, and many times the initial contact is carried out outside the media focus and is completed through low-key and informal meetings.

Against this backdrop, Deco and Barcelona's scout head Pereira met yesterday with Gabriel Sabat, the representative of Secasports agency, at a restaurant in Barcelona. Secasports is a company specializing in the brokerage of players in Brazil and South America, and Barcelona has been paying close attention to these areas because there are a large number of young and potential football talents there.

This type of meeting usually does not bring immediate signing results, but rather to maintain connections with the main broker and to understand market dynamics. The job of a sports director is not only to sign players, but also to always grasp the market situation, make arrangements in advance and establish relationships.

The two sides have maintained a good relationship for a long time. In fact, Sabat was invited to the Camp Nou last season to watch Barcelona’s match against Valencia, which reflects his good understanding with the current sports management.

Although the meeting was not for the immediate signing, Barcelona hopes to discover young talents before other wealthy European giants intervene. This is the strategic direction Deco has set since taking office, and Pereira is responsible for implementing this strategy through the constantly optimized scouting department. The

club believes that the key to the future is to identify emerging talents, especially in the Brazilian market, which is very familiar to both Deco and Pereira, which has historically delivered many outstanding players to Barcelona. So even if the transfer window has been closed, Barcelona is still actively looking for opportunities that may have a significant impact in the coming years.
