The sporting director says contract renewals underpin Barcelona’s short-term plan.

Overview

Deco confirmed Barcelona will not recruit in the winter window and said he does not see the need for departures.
He left open a January exit for captain Marc-André ter Stegen, prioritizing the goalkeeper’s recovery and noting he may seek playing time once available.
Eric Garcia is set to extend his contract, with final details still being settled.
No decision has been made on Robert Lewandowski’s contract or a permanent move for Marcus Rashford, though the club is pleased with Rashford’s impact.
Deco said Hansi Flick remains content at the club and offered support for Ronald Araújo’s gradual return as he works on his mental health.
