Javier Tebas, the president of the Spanish La Liga, has paid the head of the leaders of FC Barcelona, who are waiting to validate the arrival of the young Brazilian striker Vitor Roque.
Recruited last summer by FC Barcelona for 30 million euros, the young Brazilian Vitor Roque (18 years old) arrived in Catalonia on Wednesday to undergo medical tests. This powerful center forward (author of 21 goals and 45 matches with Athletico Paranaense) will take part in training for Xavi’s team in the coming days, but is not sure if he will be able to be part of the squad for the restart in Las Palmas, in a week.
The Spanish Liga has in fact not validated the registration of the Auriverde international (a selection last March). As part of the financial fair play implemented by the championship, the Catalan club was ordered to release 50,000 euros in its payroll. Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, would have had fun with his colleagues by advising FCB to request an advance from the European Super League.
Joan Laporta, the president of Barça, is in fact one of the leaders, with his Real Madrid alter ego Florentino Pérez, of the new ESL formula.

A Superleague which convinced almost no one.
