In a case where FC Barcelona seems to have adopted a clear and decisive stance regarding the future of Vitor Roque in the team. After a first half of the 2023/24 season in which he enjoyed few playing opportunities and failed to stand out when he did, followed by a 2024/25 preseason where he did not shine as much as his closest competitor, Pau Victor, everything indicates that his time at the Blaugrana is coming to an end.
This reality seems to be accepted by the Timóteo native, who appears to resign himself more and more each day to the idea of having scarce minutes in the Culers' jersey, both due to his performances on the field and the uncertainty regarding his registration, an issue that the Catalan club does not seem to be in a hurry to resolve. Faced with this, 'Tigrinho' is considering seeking a new footballing destination.
The radical decision that FC Barcelona has made regarding the future of Vitor Roque
What is unexpected in this case is the apparently radical position that FC Barcelona has taken. According to 'SPORT', the Barcelona squad has ruled out the option of loaning out 'Vitinho' and now only considers his departure through a transfer. The sporting direction is clear that they do not want to take the risk of a loan that does not benefit the player and could devalue him even more, opting to cut off an operation that has not gone as expected.
At this point, the team from the City of Counts expects to receive an offer in the range of 30-35 million euros for the Brazilian striker, an amount that would allow them to recoup the investment made in his transfer from Athletico Paranaense (30 million euros). Any proposal within these margins will be considered favorable by the club, which seeks to finalize the operation quickly.
Despite having several suitors, including Everton, none have managed to match Barcelona's salary demands. The only team that seems to have done so and even exceeded it, Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia, is not a desired destination for the striker, who prefers to stay in Europe, showing interest in the Premier League. Also mentioned is the option of the Portuguese league, where Sporting Lisbon seems interested, although they have not yet submitted a concrete offer for the player.
