Anderson Deco is currently working with Hansi Flick on plans for next season. Including moving into the summer transfer market. With the Blaugrana sporting director having already started to tap into his connections. While working as a player agent to explore options for offloading certain players from the club.

Deco reportedly had a phone conversation with FC Porto’s current president, Andre Villas-Boas. With the two main topics of discussion being the transfer of Mikhail Faye and the loan move of Vitor Roque. 

While both Deco and Flick see potential in the young Senegalese centre-back. Barcelona are surplus to requirements at centre-back and have been forced to offload a number of players. Particularly the less experienced Mikhail Faye. 

The Blaugrana are ready to accept offers of at least €15m for the 19-year-old defender. With a buy-back option and a share of the fee for a future move. With the two clubs currently in talks. 

Meanwhile, Deco believes FC Porto is the ideal place for Vitor Roque to develop. With the Brazilian forward set to get more playing time at the Portuguese giants, who will be releasing Mehdi Taremi this summer. 

Atletico Madrid have also reportedly shown interest in Vitor Roque. And the Roque could be included in a deal to have Joao Felix join the Blaugrana on loan again next season.
