Deco, director deportivo of FC Barcelona, ​​took a short break from the busy transfer market after being spotted this Saturday at a concert by renowned Canadian jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall at the prestigious Festival de Cap Roig in Calella de Palafrugell. He is joined by Alejandro Echevarría, a key supporter in Barcelona's day-to-day operations. The two were met by Juli Guiu, director of the festival and Barça's vice president of Marketing from March 2021 to January 2025. Despite his resignation, Guiu remains on good terms with club officials, as well as Joan Laporta and the rest of the board. The Festival de Cap Roig is an annual feature on the Costa Brava where famous summer music students perform, and is the venue for a short respite for Barcelona officials before resuming their preparations. Before said evening, Deco and Echevarría spent two weeks in the United States to accompany Spain's international players from Barcelona in the World Cup stage — from the round of 16 to the final — which they concluded with victory over Argentina last Sunday in New Jersey. It was a big moment for the 'culers' to witness the contribution of Barcelona players on the world stage.

Just a few days later, Barcelona's attention will turn to the next phase of their training camp. They are scheduled to travel to St. George's Park, near Birmingham in England, in the middle of next week. Hansi Flick's team will hold their summer camp there from Monday, July 27 to Monday, August 3. The program includes two matches: first, a friendly against Birmingham City on Friday, July 31, at 20:45 (local time) at St. Andrew's Stadium; and secondly, a behind-closed-doors training session against Preston North End on Monday, August 3. Both opponents are from the Championship, England's second division, which will serve as a strong gauge in this phase of preparations. The camp is expected to focus on strengthening conditioning and honing Flick's ideas on the game system, along with the integration of those returning from international duty. It is also an important phase for building the team's rhythm and confidence ahead of the opening of the new La Liga campaign, while discussions and moves in the transfer market led by Deco and his group continue. All in all, Deco and Echevarría's presence at Cap Roig served as a brief respite before resuming intensive work: shaping Barcelona's pulse and form for the upcoming season, including a series of training sessions and matches in England that will give a clearer picture of where the team is at under the new direction on the technical side.

What's next

After their break, Deco and FC Barcelona's attention will turn to their pre-season training camp in St. George's Park. Here, their preparations for the upcoming season of La Liga football are expected to continue, with friendlies against Birmingham City and Preston North End. Such activities are important not only for physical preparation but also for the player development of their squad.
