El Mundo Deportivo says while Jorge Mendes will have spoken with the Barca directors about his clients, Deco and Rafael Marquez, he will also have again been pumped for information about Mourinho's situation.

Mendes has already met with Barca chiefs in the last month in Lisbon as Mourinho's shadow looms large over Frank Rijkaard's reign this season. It's suggested a mutual commitment between Barca and Mourinho will hold until June.
