Jürgen Klopp Takes him to Red Bull: Transfer Underway, Deco Gives OK and Leaves Barça

Klopp is the new director of soccer at Red Bull and is already negotiating for a La Masia gem.

Jürgen Klopp has delivered a surprise by becoming the new head of soccer for Red Bull's teams. The former German coach is not wasting any time and has already contacted Deco, according to El Nacional, showing interest in several players who are in the Barça academy.

Madrid-Barcelona has been able to confirm that the name that most attracts Jürgen Klopp's attention is that of his compatriot Noah Darvich, who has just turned 18. He arrived at Barça in 2023 for 2.5 million euros and hasn't had many opportunities, despite everyone highlighting his enormous potential.

Noah Darvich has a contract with Barça until 2026 and the reality is that Deco hasn't closed the door to his departure. He likes him, but without the necessary opportunities it could be difficult for him. Klopp wants him for the teams controlled by Red Bull and the only condition of the Catalonian club is not to lose control of him.

What does this mean? Deco has reportedly given his approval to Noah Darvich's departure in the next January transfer market, provided that it is done on loan or a transfer with a buy-back option. In the event that he is sold, the intention is to control 50% of his transfer, trying to keep him under control at all times.

The Plan for Noah Darvich at Red Bull

Madrid-Barcelona has found that Jürgen Klopp has also contacted Noah Darvich's closest contacts, putting on the table his plan to raise him the right way. Initially, the idea is for him to reinforce Salzburg's squad for two or three years, giving him the opportunity to grow in a less important league.

Later, if his development goes as expected, he would jump into Red Bull Leipzig, the multinational's top team. There he would be able to play in Europe, he would be important and, in addition, the doors to a big club would open for him if they come with an attractive financial offer, as they have always done.

Noah Darvich is not against the possibility of joining the ranks of Red Bull, especially with Klopp in charge of operations. In any case, what is clear is that his priority is to stay at Barça and he doesn't intend to force anything.
