And nobody can blame any general football fan for describing the whole thing as a mess. Over the past few weeks, multiple football agents who were expected to have meetings with Barcelona did not know who at the club to talk to. Still, the situation has created confusion. And joining him - to replace Cruyff - will be former Barcelona player, and current football agent, Deco.īarcelona are yet to make an official statement about the new structure, but Alemany confirmed his continuity last weekend, and their vice-president Rafa Yuste revealed Deco will be returning to the club when speaking to DAZN TV channel on Saturday. Now, Alemany has decided to stay, after changing his mind over a move to Aston Villa of the Premier League. Two weeks later, Jordi Cruyff, Alemany’s partner in that role, said he would be going, too. Even the players celebrating in the dressing room were surprised. It came as a shock, because Alemany is a key figure. On May 2, right after a 1-0 home victory over Osasuna, the club announced sporting director Mateu Alemany would be leaving. One year on from the series of asset sales that financed last summer’s transformative spend, Barcelona’s sporting leadership has been the focus of much turbulence and change over the past month, with the next off-season transfer window just weeks away from opening.
