Asked when the deal would be made official, he commented that ‘I don’t know, it’s up to the club’.
Deco was also asked about Turkish teenage sensation Arda Guler, who signed for Real Madrid last week. He had travelled to Istanbul to meet with Guler and when he returned, there was optimism in Barcelona over a deal. Asked what happened to change things so dramatically, Deco simply said ‘I don’t know’.
Meanwhile Alemany was also asked about the exit operation for Barcelona, to which he responded ‘there aren’t that many’.
While the agreement for Roque has been widely reported, this is the first official confirmation that the deal will be done from someone at the club. Deco was thought to have been key in negotiations with his compatriot, knowing the Brazilian market well. Previously he acted as a scout for Barcelona in South America.
