Barcelona chief Deco is pulling back from claims of signing permanently Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo.

Atletico Madrid attacker Felix and Manchester City defender Cancelo are both on season-long loans.

After initially suggesting both players will be kept on, Deco is now being more coy about the pair's future.

He told A Bola: "We are very happy with the performance of both. They give a lot of quality to the team.

"Now it is too early to talk about their situation and we will have time to make decisions. Now is the time when the players must focus on the club's objectives and try to win as much as possible in all competitions.

"At this moment we shouldn't talk about the market."
