Barcelona negotiates for Vitor Roque with potential fee of €45 million

Posted : 19 June 2023
Barcelona is making progress in their negotiations with Athletico Paranaense for the transfer of forward Vitor Roque, according to sources. The Catalan club is seeking a backup striker for Robert Lewandowski, and Roque has emerged as their top choice.
 
The 18-year-old is not only seen as a player who can relieve some of Lewandowski's workload this season but also potentially succeed him in the future. Reports suggest that Barcelona has reached an agreement with Athletico, with a potential fee of €45 million, including add-ons.
 
While negotiations are advancing positively, sources have indicated that Barcelona still needs to address other factors before finalizing the deal. They need to free up salary space and make room in their squad due to LaLiga's financial restrictions.
 
Barcelona can only spend 40% of what they save or generate on new player acquisitions. This means they must create salary space or generate transfer fees from player sales before they can register new signings. Lionel Messi, whom coach Xavi Hernandez expressed interest in signing, chose to join Inter Miami instead due to Barcelona's financial issues.
 
Barcelona also aims to lighten their attacking options before bringing in another forward. With Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha, Ansu Fati, and Ferran Torres competing for two positions since Xavi's tactical switch to a midfield four, the club wants to balance their attacking lineup.
 
Vitor Roque, a highly rated young talent, has already represented the Brazil senior team. He began his career at America Mineiro's youth setup, moved to Cruzeiro in 2021, and joined Athletico Paranaense in 2022 for a transfer fee of around €4.5 million.

Roque has already made over 50 appearances for the Brazilian Serie A side, contributing 16 goals and helping them reach the Copa Libertadores final last year while winning the Campeonato Paranaense this year.
