The departure of Vitor Roque from Barça is practically a fact. The Barça entity does not want to lose track of him and the idea is to finalize his loan, but the player refuses this alternative since he prefers to be transferred.
The soap opera between Vitor Roque and FC Barcelona is going through key hours. The Brazilian is one of the Barça entity's discards for this transfer market, but his departure remains 'stalled', so the club held a meeting with his representative to resolve his situation as soon as possible. The goal of the Catalans is not to register the player to save money and free up salary space, so they need to reach an agreement with the player to finalize his departure.
The 19-year-old striker and his entourage are aware that it will be very difficult for the scorer to have quality minutes under the command of Hansi Flick and they understand that the best thing for his progression is a change of scenery, but the operation faces its biggest 'obstacle' in the output method. Roque intends to leave Barcelona through a permanent transfer as he feels that the club does not value his talent, which is why he would choose to 'break ties' definitively with the Catalans in search of a team where he feels important.
However, and contrary to the player's position, Can Barça would prefer to finalize his departure through a loan since they consider that the South American still has a long way to go and a lot of room for progression. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', although he is not part of the immediate plans of the coach and the institution, the culé sports management does not rule out that later, when he is more adapted to European football, he could be a valuable player for the Barça squad. .
If his entourage continues without giving in to the demands of the Catalan team, the conditions of the entity are clear. The Blaugranas deposited 30 million euros to Atletico Paranaense for their signing, plus another 30 depending on different variables, and they are not willing to lose a single euro. That club that wants to make its incorporation permanent must assume the same amounts that the culés paid to the Brazilians. A scenario that, today, is very unlikely since 'Tigrinho''s performance wearing the Barça shirt was quite poor, even being left out of Brazil's list for the Copa América, so that a loan seems the most appropriate option. feasible.
Roque was not present at training on Saturday
The Brazilian was one of the names on Saturday in Barcelona. Barça returned to training after the tour of the United States, but the striker was not part of the squad, a situation that 'triggered' rumors about his future. However, his absence was due to the fact that the footballer showed up at the Ciutat Esportiva with discomfort and fever, so, after being examined by doctors, Vitor returned to his home.
