Barcelona chief Deco discusses Felix, Cancelo - and Lewandowski, Yamal

Barcelona chief Deco has announced they will keep Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo next season.

Atletico Madrid striker Felix and Manchester City fullback Cancelo are both on-loan at Barca this season.

And Deco says the pair have already done enough to convince Barca to keep them long-term.

He told RAC-1: "We have Joao Félix and Cancelo for next season because they are very important for the squad."

Deco also commented on the row involving Robert Lewandowski and his treatment of Lamine Yamal during victory over Alaves.

He added, "When Lamine is fouled which is a penalty and the Alavés players go after him, the first one who is going to push the centre-backs is Lewandowski. We can stay with that image or with the one of the hand. He is one of those who care the most about young people."
