Barcelona Wants to Do Business with Vitor Roque

Vitor Roque has taken an important step in his career with his first goal for Real Betis, after debuting at the Benito Villamarín in a match against Leganés. The Brazilian forward, who came on as a substitute, seized the opportunity to leave his mark with a goal that not only excited the Betis fans but also himself. “I didn't expect to debut like this, with a goal at home. I am very happy and will continue working to give my best,” Roque declared after the match.

This goal not only signifies a good start for Roque at Betis, but also a crucial step in regaining the confidence he lost after his arrival at FC Barcelona last winter. His initial spell at the Catalan club was marked by a lack of opportunities under the guidance of Xavi Hernández, leading to a loan to Heliópolis after not fitting into the plans of the new Barça coach, Hansi Flick. Initially, Roque will stay at Betis for two years, though Barça has the option to recall him next summer, while Betis holds a purchase option for 25 million euros.

His price will be 40 million euros

The destiny of Vitor Roque could have been very different. According to Fiorentina's sporting director, Daniele Pradè, the Italian club tried to secure the Brazilian forward, but Barcelona's demands of 40 million euros made the transfer unfeasible. This will be the price that the Catalan team will again ask for in the upcoming summer transfer market, so interested clubs already know the amount they will have to spend if they truly want to sign the promising Brazilian forward.

The Brazilian forward, who arrived in European football after excelling at Athletico Paranaense, where he scored 21 goals in 45 matches, is under contract with Barça until 2031, but for now, he is focused on succeeding with Betis.
