Regardless of the Barça team’s economic woes, the Portuguese coach managed to complete the signing of one of the biggest promises in Germany and even on the planet. First you arrive at the masia.
Deco shows that money is sometimes not the strongest way to sign a rising star and Barcelona agree with him. For several weeks the Portuguese manager worked on a secret operation that is still being uncovered to this day, with a successful result for the big blue houseTo. It is one of the young talents with a larger lead in German football.
The boy is currently champion of the U-17 European Championship with the Teutonic team, which won the final against France on penalties. He won number #10 by hand and is already classified as the most valuable pearl in his current club. We’re talking about Noah Darvich, attacking midfielder of the German national team and Freiburg II of the 3rd Bundesliga.

Thanks to Deco, the 16-year-old star joins FC Barcelona
At just 16, the Bad Krozinger native has already attracted the attention of the German Football Association, who are already considering calling him up for the U21 team. At the same time that the boy was gaining this admiration, the Portuguese manager began to set his machines in motion to sign the jewel of the Teutonic Order. The result is encouraging as the creative midfielder will travel to Barcelona for the relevant medical checks in the next few days.
He will first arrive at La Masia where he will join Barcelona Juvenil A but has great chances to play for Barca Atléti. The options for him to play in Xavi’s squad only depend on the performance the German delivers in the opening games of the season. However, the player has a high level of regularity and it is very likely that he will delight both Óscar López and Rafa Márquez.
Deco managed to sign Darvich for just €3m in the midst of Barcelona’s economic crisis
The Portuguese sporting director is credited not only with having managed to sign a promising young German with a high level of ability, but also with having done so at a reasonable price. Anyone would think so for a 16-year-old player who already knows what it means to be European champions and who has also guaranteed his place in the Under-21 squad would cost between €40m and €60m.
Deco managed to get his contract for just 3 million, although the number could rise to 5 million depending on the fulfillment of a few goals. A signing that doesn’t apply directly to Xavi’s FC Barcelona but could be a possibility in the near future. Like Mr Egarense, he will be very aware of his development because the moment will come when he asks for it.
