Barcelona are ɾєρօɾτedly close to signing their future number nine, according to the latest out of the Catalan capital.
The Blaugrana have been pursuing 18-year-oldVitor Roquefor some time, with interest first being ɾєρօɾτed in October of 2022. It looks as if that interest is close to coming to fruition, but the Blaugrana cannot yet count their chickens.
As per Toni Juanmarti,BarcelonaandAthleticoParanaensemust put their ɾօυɢҺ agreement into writing, and sort out the final details of a Ԁєɑł.
In addition, he alleges thatAthleticoPR are keen to receive in the region of €45m in total, made up of €35m plus €10m in variables, claiming that Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to pay more than that. Previously the number quoted was a€40m Ԁєɑł between Barcelona and Athletico PR.
Juanmarti goes on to say that Roque’s insistence thatAthleticoPR only negotiate withBarcelonahas been key to the chance of any Ԁєɑł getting done, with other suitors able to offer more. Deco, who is still an agent and not officially employed byBarcelona, is said to be leading negotiations with his compatriot.
Roque is thought to be Robert Lewandowski’s long-term successor atBarcelona, as the club look to secure their future ahead of time. Roque can currently play from out wide, which suggests that the teenager may still see good game time if he joins in the near future.
