Vitor Roque’s agent blasts Xavi and warns Barcelona he could leave

Vitor Roque’s agent, Andre Cury, has hit out at Barcelona and Xavi for the Brazilian’s lack of game time at the club.

The youngster arrived in January but has spent most of his time on the bench, with Xavi saying recently he could go out on loan.

Cury says that is not an option for the forward and claims Xavi does not even speak to the 19-year-old.

Roque’s agent has also insisted the situation has to change and has warned Barcelona the forward could leave permanently as he’s not interested in a loan.

“We do not want a loan. If the club decides that he cannot stay, he will be sold. There are many teams interested in Vitor Roque. If the club does not give space to Vitor we will have to look for a solution. Either he stays or he is transferred,” he told RAC1.

“No one understands why Xavi doesn’t play him and doesn’t even speak to Vitor, it’s not right. We will discuss his future with Barça soon.

“We chose Barça because Vitor loves the club, imagine that we really had other proposals that gave us twice as much. But if we can’t find a solution internally, we will have to look for another place on permanent transfer.

“Everyone thinks that Vitor Roque has to have more minutes and no one understands why the coach doesn’t give them to him.”

Barcelona now have a big decision to make with Vitor Roque. The Brazilian clearly isn’t happy with his current role, but it seems that Xavi isn’t willing to give him the minutes he wants.
