Barça fans will wait before seeing Vitor Roque in his new colors. In order to compensate for the imminent transfer of Ousmane Dembélé to Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona plans to welcome the young Brazilian striker faster than expected. The possibility of an early departure of the 18-year-old player was also reinforced by the elimination of his club, Atlético Paranaense, in the Copa Libertadores against Bolivar at the stage of the round of 16 (3-3, 4 -5 to tabs).
But according to the information reported by ace, the Brazilian club, through its sporting director Alexandre Mattos, put an end to the rumors on Thursday by indicating that the Brazilian jewel remained an essential cog in its workforce and that it was counting on him in order to secure a qualification for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores. Moreover, with the transfer market closed in Brazil, Athletico Paranaense are unable to find a replacement for him. Therefore, Vitor Roque will join Catalonia this winter, as per the agreement reached with the Catalan club.
