During a recent Champions League match in Barcelona, FC Barcelona 's sporting director, Deco , took the opportunity to meet with Portuguese players Carlos Gonçalves and Antonio Casanova of the Pro Eleven agency. According to Sport , the discussion focused on Gonçalo Oliveira , a young 19-year-old left-footed central defender playing for Benfica . Considered one of the Lisbon club's most promising talents, Oliveira alternates between the first and reserve teams, and is admired by coaches for his technical quality and potential.
José Mourinho himself recently identified him as very important for the club's future. However, this meeting remains exploratory, and no negotiations are underway. Barça, which has no urgent need to strengthen its central defense, intends to continue its usual strategy: observing and analyzing young talent before considering a signing. Deco is said to favor a thoughtful and patient approach, keeping an eye on Oliveira without rushing into a move just yet. Watch this space.
