Barcelona are ready to put midfielder Deco up for sale.

Club insiders have told AS that Barca management want to make a mega signing in the summer and are preparing to sell one of their bigger names to help fund the deal.

Barca sports chief Txiki Begiristain and coach Frank Rijkaard are due to meet to discuss Deco's situation. No-one at the club doubts Deco's contribution, but with so many midfield options available to Rijkaard, management believe they can afford to sell him at the end of this season.

Barca paid £8 million for Deco two years ago from Porto, with Ricardo Quaresma going in the opposite direction. It's understood Barca will be seeking £20 million should Rijkaard agree to the player's sale.

Mega Signing = Henry or Lampard. No others even in the frame.

Hohoho... Barcelona would made a great deal if they get 20 million pounds for Deco, and in my opinion, they would do a good thing if they sign Lampard or Henry.

Feck all chance of getting Lampard tho and thats being generous, Henry is more of an unknown quantity when it comes to this tho.

Barça don't have enough money if they want to sign Lampard or Henry but I don't think they sell Deco. In my opinion, Deco is better than Lampard. But is possible that since next month there will be a sponsorship in the Barça's t-shirt. And with it Barça could earn 18-20 million euros a year and they could sign Henry or Lampard.

Selling Deco?
I think it is a very bad move. Plus, Mourinho is not going to leave lampard. I hope its just a rumor.

Deco better than Lampard??

I could see Deco leaving Barcalona! They certainly have enough players too cover.

But Deco and Lampard play in a similar position

So?

If you say that Barça can sell Deco because they have a lot players that can cover him and they sign Lampard, who plays in a similar position that Deco, the situation will be the same. For this reason, I prefer not to change.

Yes but Lampard would be an improvement on Deco...

I prefer Deco than Lampard

Yea exactly Lampard is much better than Deco??? So then Lampard would start every match!!!

I don't want Lampard comes to Barça. I like Deco, I think we don't need Lampard

Well your President thinks differently!

Well is possible but I don't think Barça sign Lampard next summer. The most possible is that Barça will sign Henry and they don't have enough money to sign Lampard too. But in two years is possible.

Nice sig, its a bit big though.

A bit big about what ? the player ? the amount of money that we will have to pay ?

no no your signature at the bottom!!! It is quite large compared too mine and everyone elses!

Ah ok

I don't know if is too much big. I don't know the rules about the dimensions. Do you know if I have to reduce it? If I have to reduce, I'll make it.

Deco: If Barcelona want to sell me, I'll go


Barcelona ace Deco says he'll quit the Nou Camp if the club doesn't want him around.
The Portugal international has been linked with a swap deal for Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard and is also believed to be under consideration for an end-of-season sale by management.

"I am happy here. When the club does not want me, I will leave, because I am here to help. But so far, I believe that people want me to stay," said Deco.

The size sig you got at the moment is perfect mate, much bigger than that isnt encouraged.

it's kind of a difficult situation.....Lamps says he loves the city, his wife is from there, Ronaldinho sat on a plane with him and they struck up a friendship, Ronadinho has publicly stated he would like to play with him.......

on the otherside, Lamps has recently stated he wants to stay at Chelsea....

Deco has stated in an interview how highly he regards Mourinho as a person and a coach....

It's a bit confusing if you try to figure it out, since just about anything could happen here.....

LAMPS is going no where ...if roanaldinho wanted to play with him so bad he could have come to Chelsea in the summer ....i cant even imagine Chelsea without lampard
