The agents of Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi are in Barcelona today.

Jijantes says Edoardo Crnjar and Edmundo Kabchi touched down in Barcelona this morning and headed out to meet with Blaugrana sports chief Deco.

The Portuguese is now laying out the groundwork to replace Xavi, who will step down as Barca coach this summer.

Italian De Zerbi is a candidate for the job.

Crnjar and Kabchi also take care of Barca defender Ronald Araujo, who is the subject of a bid from Bayern Munich.

Like with De Zerbi, Deco also intends to discuss Araujo's situation with the agents.
