The sports director of Barça has just assured that a new defector will soon land at the club.
Ilkay Gundogan remains for the moment the only summer recruit of FC Barcelona. But not for long. The Spanish champion club is about to complete another visit. The information was confirmed by Deco, its new sports director.
Barça will pay a staggering sum
The Portuguese has announced that an agreement has been reached for Vitor Roque, the young Brazilian prodigy. The Athletico Paranaense striker is expected to join Barca for a fee between €70m and €75m. A hell of a lot and that says a lot about the expectations that weigh on this nugget.
Deco spoke while having lunch with colleague Mateu Alemany in Barcelona city centre. Approached by journalists from Sport to take stock of the Roque file, he replied: “I am obviously very satisfied, Roque is a good player. Now it’s a matter of time and the club will announce it.
Alemany gave other good news to the socios, assuring that “several” other reinforcements are planned by the epilogue of the summer transfer window. Are the economic worries that Barça suffered from now on ancient history?
