Vitor Roque‘s lack of visibility at FC Barcelona is causing some concern. According to reports from MD, the Brazilian forward is facing a tough time due to the limited playing opportunities he is getting under the management of Xavi Hernández. His agent, André Cury, spoke to ‘RAC1’ and mentioned that if Roque doesn’t get more chances, they might have to consider finding a new path to ensure his development.
“Vitor Roque needs more playing time, and it’s puzzling why he’s not getting it. He’s ready and waiting for his chance, but there have been several games where he could have been given the opportunity to shine,” expressed André Cury, clearly frustrated with Roque’s situation.
Cury emphasized that “the player is mentally strong and in great physical condition,” using the example of Vinicius at Real Madrid to highlight that Roque might need time to adjust after transitioning directly from Brazilian football.
“He’s eager to prove himself. In Barcelona, there’s a lot of unnecessary media noise, false information, and negativity. This doesn’t help. Look at Vinicius at Real Madrid; it took him time to settle, but now he’s thriving. In Barcelona, chaos ensues within two months, and instead of support, people want to criticize,” shared André Cury, who also mentioned discussing concerns with Deco regarding the future of the Barcelona striker.
“The player is under contract with Barça. We chose Barça over other options because we wanted to play here. We believe Vitor will become a great player, but if Barça doesn’t allow it.. whether it’s the club, the coach, or internal issues, we might have to explore other options,” stated André Cury, clarifying that they are not considering a temporary loan and any change would involve a permanent transfer.
“If the club does not give space to Vitor, unfortunately we will have to talk to the club to find a solution. A loan for a young boy ends up harming him because he goes to another club that does not own him and has no interest in taking care of him. This is very dangerous for the boy’s career. The best thing is to stay at Barça, but if he can’t stay, we will work to get him to leave permanently. But I and the player chose to come to Barça for less than half the price offers from other clubs. We are happy at Barça and we want to continue. If it is not possible, we will sit down with the president and with Deco to find a good solution for all parties,” said André Cury about the future of Vitor Roque.
