Former Barcelona Portuguese star Deco is considered the leading candidate to replace outgoing Mateu Alemany as the club's director of football.
Barcelona confirmed on Tuesday that 60-year-old Alemany will leave the La Liga leaders at the end of the season.
According to multiple reports in Spain, Alemany is in talks to join Aston Villa.
The Barcelona director has been offered a significant pay rise to move to Villa Park and work alongside manager Unai Emery.
Catalan radio station RAC1 reported that "Barcelona" may turn to its former midfielder Deco to replace Alemany.
The former midfielder of "Barcelona" is considered the best contender for that position.
Let's remind that Deco, a player of the Portuguese national team with Brazilian roots, played 161 matches from 2004-2008 after moving from Porto to "Barcelona."
