Vitor Roque has become one of the great objectives of FC Barcelona for the summer and, according to information from 'Relevo', the culés have finally advanced in their negotiations with Athletico Paranaense

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has like aim achieve the traspaso of a '9' acting for Robert Lewandowski and Vitor Roque, leading Brazilian of 18 years of the Athletico Paranaense, would be the elected by the sportive direction of the Barcelona club. It comes to explode and lead to Brazil in the Sudamericano sub-20 that celebrated in Colombia at the beginning of this year and that won the 'canarinha', leaving backwards to the Uruguay of Álvaro Rodríguez.

The Barcelona entity has full confidence in completing his traspaso, although the competition is maximum and that the Athletico Paranaense will want to take out a good quantity of money by one of the players that more has called the attention no only of his team, but of the football sudamericano. In fact, an information of the journalist Fabrizio Romano aimed to that the Brazilian club had declined the first offer of the culés, of 25 million euros.

It supposes a very move# away quantity of the expectivas of the Paranaense, but no the end of the history for the Barça, because as they have stood out in 'Relief', the culés follow very 'alive' in the career by the traspaso of the fútbolista born in Timóteo. Although they would have refused the offer of 25 'kilos', in the Barcelona club think that have achieved a very important advance of face to the possible incorporation of Roque, because they keep direct contacts with the Brazilian picture and they are had to negotiate.

Of agreement to this information, the conversations between Barça and Paranaense have gone in in a second phase and "the Brazilian entity already admits in petit committee that his youngster perla will dress of Barcelona the next season", as they explain. Up to now, the Barcelona had not kept direct contacts, only approximations by means of André Cury, agent of the footballer. The situation has given an important twist that can finish benefiting to the Catalans.

Had to negotiate

The Barça is determined to advance in the negotiations by Roque and avoid that another European team go in in scene. The culés know that, if they advance , will be little likely that escape them the signing. Like this they have transmitted it to him to the Brazilian group, that would be had to flexibilizar his pretences to arrive to an agreement. Although they will not recess the available price, that could brush the 40 million euros, yes will go in in 'consideration' the variables.

In this sense, foresees that the Paranaense accept to reduce the mount fixed of the traspaso and increase the variables according to fulfillment of aims and, even, would be on the table the possibility of an executable conveyance with option to buy at the end of the season 2023-2024. If it is like this, Vitor Roque would arrive to the City Condal in this summer in quality of loan and, a year afterwards, the Barça would have to pay his traspaso.

The most logical is that this option of purchase was compulsory so that the group sudamericano 'ensure' the sale of his 'perla'. It would result a puff of cool air for the culés, because would have more time to find him a gap in the limit salarial, something that, as we know all, is an authentic challenge in front of the big líos with the 'fair play' financial. The option is on the table.

Abril, key month!

In 'Relief' have explained that the Barça will continue in conversations with the Paranaense to find an agreement, but will not be until the month of April when they put all the meat in the asador to achieve his incorporation. And it is that, in this moment, the sportive direction will have an idea more 'real' of how will be the staff for the next season and are conditions to take decisions in the market.

Likewise, in April will have knowledge of if it will remain or no Sergio Busquetsl a factor that can be decisive regarding the margin salarial. Also, there will be more clarity on the strategies of the club to reduce his mass salarial and that fit in the parameters of LaLiga and his economic control. Until then, the 'case Roque' will be still in the air, although the culés have advantage.
