Espanyol ‘passed’ on Vitor Roque before closing his signing for Barça

The life of Vitor Roque could be another very distinct if the RCD Espanyol had accessed to pay 10 million euros by him the past season, enough before the FC Barcelona interested by him. As they explain in the ‘Chain BE’, several intermediaries offered him to the ‘pericos’ the signing of the Brazilian forward by this quantity, but the ones of Cornellà decided to leave the opportunity happen and centre in other operations.

According to account Gonzalo Álvarez, the journalist commissioned to give this information, in the technical office of the picture blanquiazul saw that 10 ‘kilos’ were too many or even could see to the attacker ‘green’ to pay this quantity. The destination wanted that several months after this, with Vitor having exploded in the Ahtletico Paranaense, half Europe interested by him and at the end, in July of the past year, the Barça opted for paying 30 million fixed euros and other 30 in variables to ensure his incorporation.

In theory, Roque had to arrive to Barcelona this summer of 2024, but the injury of Gavi left a gap in the staff and space salarial sufficient as to advance his arrival to January. The time has showed that it was not the best decision of the group blaugrana, since Xavi Hernández grieve has had the player during these months. In fact, even it has recognised that the plan was not that it arrived so prompt and that the Brazilian still is far to be prepared to play in the Barça.

The Barça has a problem with Vitor Roque

Seemingly, the technician of Terrassa does not have he for the course that comes and in the club also want that it leave yielded. The problem is that the footballer, that is contrariado and sad by his situation when having renounced to other better offers for fichar by the FC Barcelona, does not want to go. The inmovilismo of Vitor and of his surroundings arrives to such an extent that André Cury, his agent, already has left clear that the tip only will go if it is traspasado, since a loan is not a good solution for his career.

In the Barça did not contemplate the sale at the beginning, but as it has commented now goes winning forces this idea and no descarta do box with him. The greater problem is that it does not seem that they go to arrive proposals by a minimum of 30 ‘kilos’, that is the money that has paid by him. If anybody offers this quantity, in the club plan to force to Roque so that it accept to leave the team and leave yielded to the group that more seduce him.
