Each body: The trip to de Corona not only meets the 16-year-old star, but also inspects Varella

Spanish media Daily Sports reported that Barcelona sports director Deco recently went to Croatia to watch the game against Dinamo Zagreb at home against Fenerbahce, and also inspected potential signings.

Deco went to Zagreb with player agent Andy Bala. The two set off from Madrid a few days ago and appeared in the home box of Dynamo Zagreb today. The Croatian team faced Fenerbahce in the UEFA Cup and finally won 3-1 at home. It is worth mentioning that Sergi Domingos, who transferred to Dynamo for 1.2 million euros last summer, started the game.

But the most important purpose of this trip was the multiple meetings between the two during their brief stay in the Croatian capital. First, Deco meets with Bala's acting Brazilian star Rafael Belinho at the Westin Hotel Zagreb. Since the two sides had never met before, the atmosphere of this contact was relaxed and informal. The main purpose was to get to know each other, communicate and interact, and take a photo with this promising talented player in the future. The player's father was also there.

This trip also provides an opportunity to visit Cardoso Varella. Barcelona has been paying attention to it for a long time, but many attempts have failed due to various obstacles. Although Varella has renewed its contract with Dynamo Zagreb until 2028, Barcelona still plans to try to introduce it again next summer. The player's name appears frequently in negotiations, and the attempt last summer failed. In last night's game, Varella, who usually represents Dynamo II, made a substitute in the 93rd minute, almost failed to show his technical characteristics that attracted Barcelona's attention.

Deco appeared in Zagreb, strengthening Barcelona's strategy to continue to explore Croatian players' channels with the assistance of Andy Barra - Barra has previously successfully operated transactions such as Danny Ormo and Joan Garcia that are beneficial to Barcelona. In this way, the Barcelona sports director completed a secret itinerary in just a few days, met with two players, established contact with Dynamo's management, and observed European competitions. Tomorrow, he will go to Oviedo to watch the sixth round of the league.
