Barça: the presentation of Vitor Roque set for Wednesday

Arriving in Barcelona a few days ago from Athletico Paranaense, Vitor Roque (18 years old) already knows his jersey number. The Brazilian nugget will wear the number 19, a number not insignificant for the history of the club since it is one of the numbers of its legend Lionel Messi between 2005 and 2008.

“Tigrinho”, as he is nicknamed in Brazil, will soon be presented to the press and supporters. Barça, however, will not be able to count on him tomorrow to boost their attack when La Liga resumes. The young striker is still not registered on La Liga lists and will certainly not be able to play against Las Palmas.
