Barca’s gamble with El Tigre: If it turns out to be a hit, it could be a saving grace

Globo announced four days ago that everything was finalized and practically signed. Barcelona announced today and confirmed: one of the most talented strikers in the world – Vitor Roque (18), is a new member of the Catalan giants.When it comes to conditions, there is no big difference between what Globo wrote on Saturday and what the Spanish media are reporting today. Mundo Deportivo claims that the fixed part of the compensation will amount to 30,000,000 euros, that is, that Atletico Paranense could collect as much as 31,000,000 through bonuses.Interestingly, the Brazilian TV network stands by its information that Barcelona will have to pay an additional 13,000,000 for various fees and taxes on those 61,000,000 euros, which raises the value of the entire deal to the 74,000,000 mentioned a few days ago.Laporta can’t get over Messi: We had an agreement, the terms were defined, the contract fit into FFP…What is a massive difference compared to the first Globo news are the percentages. At first, the Brazilians claimed that they retained 20 percent of the economic rights to the player, but it seems that it is still 20 percent that Barcelona will receive from the profit from the possible next transfer.In translation, Paranense will not ask anything about any future negotiations with a third party…Regarding bonuses weighing 31,000,000 euros, the Catalan Mundo broke them down into four categories. Therefore, in order for the Brazilians to hope for a full figure, Vitor Roque needs to play at least 60 percent of the games as a starter. The second item concerns the goals scored (the required number of goals for the clause to be activated has not been announced), the third will depend on the titles won in the Barcelona jersey and the fourth concerns the Ballon d’Or – entering among the top three candidates and winning it.##NAJAVA_MECA_7367056##The guy whose nickname is the Tiger will stay safely in his homeland until January, and maybe until next summer. Everything depends on when the conditions will be met for Barcelona to register him…Finally, let’s clarify for the umpteenth time – Barca currently have no problem with spending a lot of money for compensation, but is struggling with reducing the salary budget that needs to be brought into line with the rules of the Spanish La Liga.Either way, it’s a serious gamble, considering how much debt the club is in. If Roque turns out to be a hit, he might be the lifeline. But if it doesn’t work out…”Culers, I’m very happy to sign with Barça. It’s a dream come true. Tigrinho is coming to Barcelona. See you soon. Força Barça!” — Vitor Roque 🐅 pic.twitter.com/gwEBganOvU— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 12, 2023
