FC Barcelona hopes to close the departures of Vitor Roque and Ansu Fati soon. The need to free up salary margin puts both forwards on the exit ramp and, curiously, both could land shortly in Seville
Ansu Fati and Vitor Roque would have their hours at FC Barcelona numbered. Both the winger and the center forward were clear at the beginning of the preseason about their limited chances of earning a place in the team led by Hansi Flick, beyond the fact that, in the case of the winger, his first days training under the orders of the German coach They were promising. Now, his future points to another LaLiga club, although these are two complex operations that are still far from being closed.
According to the latest information, the Barça players could face each other in the next Andalusian derby. On the one hand, Sevilla insists on the loan of the Bissau player, although he has not yet fully recovered from the injury to the sole of his right foot that left him out of the preseason. Francisco García Pimienta considers the former '10' culé as a key signing for the Seville team and, although the winger seemed reluctant to leave Barça, he would have already given the 'ok' to the operation.
For its part, Betis is very serious about signing 'Tigrinho', also on loan. The 'green and white' board is trying to convince Barça to accept a loan that, in the medium term, will be beneficial for all parties, giving the forward the possibility of enhancing his talent and market value for the summer of 2025. For the culés, The priority is to recover a good part of the 35 million net euros that they paid to Athletico Paranaense in 2023, as well as to free up salary margin, which is why they are betting on his immediate transfer.
Sporting CP also pushes for Vitor Roque
In that sense, Betis' main rival for Vitor Roque continues to be Sporting CP. Those from Lisbon already presented an offer close to 20 'kilos' net that Barça rejected, but they would be willing to improve their proposal to sign the '9' immediately. In principle, the offer would be around €30M, in addition to reserving a percentage of a future sale for the Barça team.
The forward's agent, André Cury, also prefers the sale of his client, assuming that 'Tigrinho' will not have a place in Catalonia in the long term. However, Roque would prefer to stay in Spain, with LaLiga being a 'top' tournament to try to establish himself in the European elite after a weak semester with Barça. Similarly, Ansu Fati also rules out leaving the country again after a disappointing season in England with Brighton. Unlike the Brazilian, the one from Bissau would have his arrival in Andalusian territory much more targeted.
