Deco Explains Why Barcelona Ended Lautaro Martínez Pursuit and Signed Gabriel Jesus
1 / 4
Barcelona sporting director Deco says the club stopped pursuing Lautaro Martínez after Inter Milan made it clear that their captain was not for sale. Deco said Barcelona also explored a move for Julián Álvarez, but Atlético Madrid refused to sell. The club then signed Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal on a two-year deal. He added that Raphinha's strong adaptation as a central attacker made Jesus a suitable addition to Hansi Flick's options. Martínez has since reaffirmed his commitment to Inter, where he remains captain and one of the club's leading scorers.
