While Real Madrid bought Endrick at the end of last year – there is another Brazilian football wunderkind and it will ‘belong’ to Barcelona. Catalan Mundo Deportivo reports that the new champions of Spain have agreed to buy the talented Atletico Paranaense striker Vitor Roque.For almost a year, Barca have been chasing the 18-year-old striker, last summer Real and Juventus were interested in him, but the Catalans’ efforts over several months paid off. Mundo writes that the Brazilian club will collect 35,000,000 euros, and that it could also receive an additional 10,000,000 as a bonus depending on the performance of the young striker.##NAJAVA_MECA_7324554##However, Atlético Paranaense will not get a fixed part all at once, but in parts. Due to the unenviable financial situation at Camp Nou, the two clubs have agreed that the Blaugrana will pay the amount over the next three years.Mundo further points out that there is a possibility that Barcelona will not register Roque this summer. The Catalan newspaper points out that there are several other footballers waiting in line who have priority over the Brazilian. Gavi, Ronald Araujo and Marcos Alonso, who agreed on contract extensions, then Ignacio Peña, and Iñigo Martínez, whose arrival Barça arranged without compensation, since his cooperation with Bilbao expired. In case they do not get the green light for his registration from La Liga, Barca will leave Roque on loan at Paranaense until the winter and then try to register him again in January.Vitor Roque will be officially signed when there is room available in FFP for him to be registered.— @sport pic.twitter.com/vm4smF3q9F— Barça Universal (@BarcaUniversal) June 18, 2023 Three other big European clubs reportedly showed interest in Roque, but the player’s desire to continue his career in Barcelona was decisive, even though he could not get guarantees, both financially and in terms of playing minutes.
