- The former Blaugrana midfielder believes the Croatia international would flourish at Camp Nou, but doesn't have the same opinion regarding Real Madrid's attackers
Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric would be a perfect fit at bitter rivals Barcelona, former Blaugrana playmaker Deco has claimed.
Modric, who moved to the Santiago Bernabeu from Tottenham in 2012, will line up for Madrid against Barca in Saturday's Clasico at Camp Nou.
Deco believes Modric is cut from the same cloth as Barcelona's Andres Iniesta and believes he would sparkle for the Catalan giants, but the former Portugal international was less complimentary about Madrid's attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.
"I would sign Modric for Barcelona," Deco told Diario Ara.
"His style of play would be a perfect fit for Barcelona. He is a player like Xavi and Iniesta, their style of play is similar.
"There would be no room for Madrid's attackers at Barca."
Deco also had his say on Lionel Messi and hailed the Argentine superstar's ability to consistently perform at the highest level.
"Messi? The most difficult thing in football is to maintain such a high level for so many years," Deco added.
"It is not easy to be playing at such a high level at a club like Barcelona. That's what surprises me the most about him, and is great to see. That's what makes the difference between Leo and the other players.
