Loaned this season by FC Barcelona on the side of Real Betis Balompié, Vitor Roque (19 years old) issued a first half-tone exercise part (7 goals and 2 33-game offerings). Relegated to the hierarchy with the Verdiblancos, the scorer has been the subject for several weeks of a strong interest from the Brazilian club of Palmeiras which pushes for its signature. The Verdao was ready to pay 27 million euros for the player. A boon for FC Barcelona which had bought it 30 million euros and would limit the damage after its failed passage in Catalonia.
And precisely, the file would be accelerating in recent days. This Thursday, FC Barcelona concluded an agreement in principle with Real Betis Balompé to put an end to the player's loan and thus allow his departure to Palmeiras according to Mundo Deportivo. The player is about to be sold for 25 million euros and bonuses while the Blaugranas have 20% to the resale. To compensate for the breakdown of the loan, FC Barcelona agreed to compensate Real Betis Balompé by granting 30% of the rights of EZ Abde to the Andalusian club. Thus, the Seville club has 80% of the rights of the Moroccan player.
