Through Betis' social networks they published a video in which Vitor Roque enters the Villamarín lawn. With a smile on his lips, the striker confesses how he feels about his imminent debut with the green and white shirt
'Tigrinho' on board! The 19-year-old forward, Vitor Roque, now wears the colors of Real Betis Balompié. He comes from FC Barcelona and will be on loan until June 30, 2025, with the option to renew the loan for another year and even, if things go better than expected, to acquire him permanently. The agreement between the two clubs includes a purchase option whose amounts have not been disclosed. What has been confirmed is that the Andalusians will fully cover the salary of the striker native of Timóteo. So far, his number as a Betis player remains a mystery.
At this point, it cannot be overlooked that, given the circumstances, the Blaugrana team has ultimately prioritized the wishes of the former Athletico Paranense player over their financial interests. It should be noted that the Catalan club turned down tempting purchase offers, such as that from Sporting Club de Portugal, in order to fulfill the desires of Vitor Roque, who always made it clear his desire to continue in LaLiga and his interest in being part of the sporting project of the team tactically led by Manuel Pellegrini.

Now fully integrated into the dynamics of the Andalusian squad, the forward has shown enthusiasm for the opportunity granted by the Betis team. Recently, a video went viral on social media, showing the first words of 'Tigrinho' as a member of the 'verdiblanco' team, as well as his first impression of the imposing Andalusian stronghold, the Benito Villamarín. "Wow. Incredible, bigger than I thought," expressed the Brazilian referring to the stadium. Subsequently, the striker expressed his excitement to start this new phase in his football career: "I'm eager to play, eager to start," added the young promise of the 'Canarinha'.
The 'warm' welcome from the 'verdiblanco' dressing room to Vitor Roque
The decision to incorporate Vitor Roque was applauded by Betis. Even from the dressing room, they praised the arrival of the 'killer' at the Villamarín. In this context, Iker Losada, a forward for the Betis team, spoke about his new teammate on the field. "Aside from being very good as a footballer, I think he has 'crack' qualities. He will be very beneficial for the team," said the player from Catoira.
Now, all that remains is to wait and see when the striker will make his debut, as he is already registered in LaLiga, indicating that his debut could be imminent. It is expected that the goal scorer will have the opportunity to play his first minutes as a Betis player in the fourth matchday of the local tournament, scheduled for the upcoming Sunday, September 1, when the team faces Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. Isn't it a magnificent setting for his debut?
