With this, the Barça closes officially his first reinforcement of the wintry market, an operation that did not generate doubts in the Barcelona directive thanks to the unlucky drop of Gavi. Roque lucirá The dorsal '19' until June and, as it was foreseen, ingresó in the list of summoned of the Barça to begin the 2024 in front of the ones of Javier García Pepper, still when the 'ok' of LaLiga recently arrived the Wednesday at night.

The 'Fair Play' agreed with Barça with Vitor Roque

For Barça there were no doubts about the registration of 'Tigrinho' since mid-December, once Gavi's absence for the rest of the season was confirmed. The club appealed to the provisions of article 77 on long-term injuries, which allows 80% of the cost of the injured footballer to be taken advantage of. Without a reliable candidate on the market to replace the 19-year-old midfielder, the board preferred to ensure the arrival of the '9' as the first reinforcement of the year.

In that sense, the bad fortune of the one from Los Palacios and Villafranca opened the door for Vitor Roque who, otherwise, would have had many complications arriving in Catalonia in January, especially after the German investment fund Libero defaulted on the payment of 40 million euros corresponding to Barça Vision, money that the club has been waiting for a couple of months.

To close the signing of the former Athletico Paranaense forward, Barça opted for the formula of including an addendum to the contract from the date until June 30, 2024, with which LaLiga approved the registration of the forward as a transfer. In this way, Timóteo's man will be able to jump to the Gran Canaria Stadium this Thursday wearing the number '19' that was free since Franck Kessié left.
