Deco gets Dissed
Portugal midfielder Deco has been given permission by FC Barcelona to seek out a contract with another team. Deco doesn’t seem to broken up about it as he looks forward to a new challenge in either England or Italy.
The Portugal international, who joined Barca from Porto in 2004, has a contract until 2010 but said on Thursday that the Catalan giants had told his agent he was free to find himself a new club.
‘The club spoke with my representative and I know that there are offers, I am going to negotiate. I don’t want to leave Barca with problems,’ Deco said at a promotional event on Thursday. ‘Barca people come and go, but the club continues, and me going is not the end of the world.
Thus the beginning of a new era in Catalonia has begun with Deco’s departure with many more soon to come. But Deco didn’t have hard feelings against the club or the fans. He even made a solid gesture that proves he is a better man than Raul.
Deco insists his next step will either be the Premier League or Serie A, adding: ‘I will go to England or Italy, I am sure. I won’t stay in Spain because the only club that is of Barca’s level is Madrid and I would never go to Madrid.’
Such graciousness is much appreciated by the Barca faithful, and hopefully the 30 year old can get back on track next season and stay out of the trainers room.
