This summer, FC Barcelona has not made any big splurges given its financial situation. But the Catalans still offered themselves Vitor Roque, a young 18-year-old nugget, who still plays in Brazil for Athletico Paranaense. Recruited for around 30 million euros, the center forward was to join the Barcelona ranks in July 2024, i.e. at the end of this season. But things could well change.

“For now, Deco told me he would come in January. Now we are what we are. We will see in January, but in principle there will be no problem. We will see the circumstances”, explained Xavi recently, he who wants to see Vitor Roque arrive this winter and not next summer. At the moment and especially after losing Ousmane Dembélé in attack, FC Barcelona does not have a backup to Robert Lewandowski up front. Which could cost the Blaugranas dearly in the event of injury to their regular scorer.
