Vitor Roque is on the brink of making a crucial decision regarding his future, with Barcelona’s board involved in the discussions. The 19-year-old forward is currently weighing offers from Sporting CP and Real Betis.
Sporting CP’s Offer
Sporting CP are keen to secure Roque on a permanent deal, proposing a package exceeding €30 million, including add-ons. This move would see the young talent join the Portuguese side on a long-term basis.
Real Betis’ Proposal
In contrast, Real Betis are pushing for a loan arrangement, aiming to keep Roque in La Liga for another season. This option would allow the Brazilian forward to gain more experience in the Spanish top flight.
Background
Roque’s situation has been a topic of discussion for several months. On 14 May 2024, Barcelona manager Xavi addressed the player’s future, and earlier in May, there were talks about a potential permanent transfer. Roque’s agent has also been vocal, criticising Xavi’s tactical decisions and discussing the transfer possibilities.
The final decision is expected soon, as Roque and the Barcelona board deliberate on the best course of action for the player’s development and career trajectory.
