Vitor Roque is having an incredible debut with FC Barcelona. Recruited last summer from Athletico Paranaense in exchange for €30 million, the Brazilian striker had to wait until this winter to arrive in Catalonia. Already the author of 2 goals in 7 matches in all competitions with his new team, he also saw red (two warnings in 5 minutes) during the victory against Alavés, during which he was also a scorer. We can say that it is experiencing a fairly rapid form of integration despite all these numerous changes. One thing is certain, FC Barcelona believes a lot in him, the proof in figures.
Mundo Deportivo reveals the underside of this transfer and in particular all the bonuses which could ultimately cost the Blaugrana dearly. The dry transfer is estimated at €30 million, payable in installments of €5 million every six months. There are also €31 million in variables. €25 million concerns seeing Vitor Roque play more than 50% of his club’s matches over the next 5 seasons. Barça will have to pay an additional €5 million if the Brazilian is one of the three finalists for FIFA’s The Best award and finally, €1 million more if the player wins the Ballon d’Or.
