The feeling is that he possesses many of the qualities that Barcelona are looking for in their future centre forward.<\/p>\n According to information obtained by Sport, obtained from \u2018sources close to the player\u2019, Deco has travelled to London to meet with Jo\u00e3o Pedro\u2019s agents.<\/p>\n He could even take advantage of his stay in England to watch the FA Cup final.

Work will have to be done create salary space in their squad and finalise departures before they can do the deal.
