Barcelona is at the point in the season where their great transfer hopes for the summer begin to fade, and whoever is in charge of recruitment begins to hunt for deals.
Deco is once again the lucky guy, and after attempting to push many players towards the exit door in order to raise dollars, only to have them bluntly refuse, he is forced to reconsider his strategy.
As a result, he has turned his attention to Arsenal, according to Sport on Tuesday.
They are specifically looking at Jorginho, who is being touted as a free transfer possibility. Deco reportedly knows the Arsenal midfielder well, and Mikel Arteta’s player ‘would be delighted’ to join Barcelona.
The Catalan newspaper’s piece makes no mention of the option for an additional year on Jorginho’s contract, which could utterly derail their ambitions for the player.
Similar situations have occurred in the past when there was a misconception that they could sign players for free, frequently from Premier League clubs, only to discover that there is an option for another year on the club’s side.
Nonetheless, there will be excitement about this current scheme and the Arsenal midfielder until someone derails it.
Barcelona is currently clinging to any transfer hope it can receive.
