The Catalan club wants to strengthen the team with that player during the winter transfer window. Initially, the idea of “Barca” was to register Roque in January. Still, the financial factor prevented it: the club has not yet received 40 million euros from the German investment fund Líbero, which bought 9.8% of the shares of Barça Studios.
But now “Barcelona” has the opportunity to bid for the Brazilian without waiting for the payments from the partners. It is related to the severe injury of midfielder Gavi. “Blaugrana” has the right to sign a contract with the player, who will receive 80% of the salary of the Spaniard, without including this data in the financial statements.
Roque is expected to become Barcelona’s only new signing during the winter transfer window. Although the coaching staff considers it necessary to strengthen the midfield line, the sports management and the club feel the transfer of Roque is more critical. Barcelona believes that with the return of Pedri and Frenkie De Jong, as well as Fermin Lopez and youth team players, they will have enough players to balance the loss of Gavi.
Remember that during the summer transfer window, “Barcelona” announced the transfer of Vitor Roque? Now the 18-year-old striker plays for “Atletico Paranaense.”
