Barcelona working discreetly to finalise deal for Monaco full-back Deco identified in 2022

Barcelona have been closely monitoring AS Monaco’s right-back Vanderson, with sporting director Deco keen on bringing the Brazilian defender to the club.

In fact, recent reports from SPORT suggest that behind-the-scenes efforts have been ongoing for months, laying the groundwork for potential negotiations.

Vanderson, for his part, is reportedly open to the idea of joining the Catalan giants.

Compared to Alves
The 23-year-old has drawn comparisons to former Barcelona legend Dani Alves due to his attacking instincts, technical ability, and pace.

Deco has admired Vanderson since January 2022, believing that his style of play aligns perfectly with the club’s philosophy.

His ability to contribute offensively while maintaining defensive discipline makes him a strong candidate for the right-back position.
