a huge check for the flop Vitor Roque?

Like Real Madrid did with Endrick, Barça also cracked on a nugget of Brazilian football by spending around 40 million euros in the summer of 2023 to sign Vitor Roque. Auriverde finally landed in Catalonia in January 2024, but had difficulty blending into the Catalan collective. This summer, Barcelona leaders decided to offer him the opportunity to benefit from more playing time by loaning him to Andalusia, to Real Betis. A good solution for someone who played 27 matches in all competitions for seven goals and two assists.

Vitor Roque returning to Brazil?

Performances which could offer him a second chance at Barça, even if according to information from journalist Joaquim Piera, a Brazilian club would like to repatriate him. Indeed, Palmeiras, Endrick's former club, would have made an offer of 27 million euros for 80% of Vitor Roque's rights. The Brazilian club will try to recruit him this winter and, if that is not possible, this summer. Palmeiras have the funds for the deal after selling Vitor Reis to Manchester City. This would mean that the Catalans would retain 20% of a future sale. Enough to allow the Spanish team to bring in new money quickly. However, it remains to be seen what the club's real project with Vitor Roque is.
