The Palmeiras is looking to make one of the big moves of the winter transfer market. The Brazilian team is building a very attractive sports project, and they would like Vitor Roque to be the 'jewel in the crown'. The 'verdao' dreams of bringing the scorer in January, which is why they have already started contacts with his surroundings to expedite his signing.
According to 'UOL Esporte', the operation seems extremely complicated since the player is on loan at Betis and should return to FC Barcelona in a year and a half. However, the South American club will not give up easily and would be willing to pay more than 20 million euros plus variables to convince the culés and verdiblancos.
Similarly, they would have communicated to Roque's representative that their commitment to the forward is total, as they intend for 'Tigrinho' to be their franchise player in the coming years, so all cards are on the table.
An unlikely signing
Despite this, it is very difficult for the operation to come to fruition, as the forward has earned a starting position at Benito Villamarín and is an important piece for Manuel Pellegrini. Furthermore, Barça would not be very interested in closing the transfer as they would prefer Roque to continue in Europe.
However, the possibility of making money in January, combined with Betis' need to free up salary space to strengthen in the winter, could ultimately tip the scales, which is why Palmeiras will continue to insist in the coming days to understand the positions of the clubs and the player.
