Barcelona president Laporta makes Deco chief scout for South America

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has made Deco their chief scout for South America.

Since retirement, Deco has been working as an agent.

The idea is to work medium to long term but without ruling out any hypothetical signings this summer, in principle for Barça B, if an opportunity arises.

Therefore, Barça now have a replacement for Andre Cury as their main scout in South America as they intensify the search for the next Neymar or Lionel Messi.
