Barcelona eye Premier League wingers as Deco hints at summer reinforcements

While careful not to breach transfer protocols, Deco's comments suggest the Catalan giants are actively assessing potential additions out wide.

"We like Luis Diaz, we like Rashford… and we like other wingers too," he told reporters, stopping short of elaborating further. His nod to these high-profile names, though measured, appears to signal a renewed push to bring proven Premier League talent to the Camp Nou.

Though Deco added that Barcelona "can't talk about players under contract with other clubs," the timing and manner of his remarks have raised eyebrows.

Such public acknowledgements often serve as subtle tools to test a player's situation or sow uncertainty at their current club ahead of formal negotiations.

This approach is nothing new for Barcelona, who have historically looked to England for marquee signings in their bid to remain competitive both domestically and in Europe.
