Both are part of the Jorge Mendes factory, which struck gold with Real Madrid’s Portuguese players, and now operates with Laporta.
Mendes and Deco have a lot of affinity. Although that seems to matter little to Hansi Flick, who is aware of the technical secretary’s interest in establishing business with Portugal.
