Al-Hilal want Vitor Roque, Barcelona hoping for sale
Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal are keen on signing Barcelona forward Vitor Roque ahead of the start of the new season.
Barcelona officials have already given the move the green light but are waiting for the Brazilian to agree to the transfer, according to Saudi outlet Al-Riyadiyah.
It’s thought that Vitor Roque wants to stay in Europe, while Barcelona would be happy to sell in a bid to boost their finances.
Fabrizio Romano is also reporting that Al-Hilal are in the hunt for the youngster and says the decision now lies with the Brazilian.
Al Hilal have approached Barça for Vitor Roque, as Saudi media report — he’s on club shortlist for this summer.

Vitor Roque’s future has been uncertain for a while after Xavi made it clear he wasn’t in his plans and would be happy to loan him out.
The January signing has also lost his No. 19 shirt to Lamine Yamal over the summer which perhaps speaks volumes about how he’s viewed at the club.
It’s not clear yet what will happen with Vitor Roque, but Barcelona need to make sales and the Brazilian looks a long way from the starting XI at the club right now.
