Calendar of FC Barcelona

A week after the "no" of Leo Messi, the FC Barcelona is near to give a hit on the table with which would be the first big signing of the market veraniego for the culés.

The good relation between both has directed the negotiations and, after the arrival of the ex international luso to the Barcelona directive, all has been simpler. Vitor Has begun very well the season with the group 'rojinegro', adding 4 goals and 2 assistances in his first 10 parties of the Brasileirao. Besides, 'it wetted' in 6 occasions by the regional tournament to beginnings of year and sum a so much in the phase of groups of the Glass Libertadores.

Vitor Roque Would arrive to add to the first team

In spite of his youth, the Barça has clear that the arrival of 'Tigrinho' supposes a reinforcement for the first team, by what, in principle, would be descartada his presence in the filial.

For the moment, only it subtracts the 'ok' of the Furaçao, since although the 40 'kilos' that offers the Barça are inside the margin presupuestado by the Brazilian, the not receiving the payment of explained can complicate the operation. For the moment, the Barcelona group does not have sufficient money in box to amortise the operation and, in fact, the club is forced to sell at least to a pair of players to open space in his mass salarial to the arrival of the of Timoteo.

The arrival of the Brazilian will suppose the goodbye definite to Auba and other players

On the other hand, the signing of Vitor Roque will suppose the goodbye definite to the possibility to recover to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The gabonés is one of the alternative 'low cost' that the directive has in his radar, but if attain fichar another '9' his return is totally descartado. Another that would see, maybe, reduced his options to arrive is Yannick Carrasco, as the investment by 'Tigrinho' would leave the arks of the Barça weakened to go to by another player in attack.

In exits, the arrive of the Brazilian to Catalonia would force the goodbye of Ferran Torres and, maybe, of Franck Kessié, two players by which the Barcelona knows that it can ingresar good money, further of the wish of both to remain . Also they are in the list of 'descartes' Eric García and Pablo Tower, although his cases aim to a cession like road more viable. More complex is the 'case Ansu', as the '10' has everything in his hands to plant and block his traspaso.
