Dani Olmo joined Barcelona over two weeks ago, but he has yet to make his debut. This is because the Catalan club has not registered him yet. However, the team at Camp Nou has been working on player departures in recent days to make this possible. The latest move involves Vitor Roque. The young Brazilian, who joined Barcelona in January from Atlético Paranaense for 40 million euros has left the club after just eight months and has joined Real Betis. Roque’s move to Real Betis is a one-year loan with an option for an additional year. The Andalusian club also has the option to purchase 80% of Roque’s contract for 25 million. However, Barcelona can block this move at no cost at the end of the current season if they decide they need him back. If Betis exercises the option to buy after the second season, Barcelona will have a buy-back clause set at 27 million euros.📣 OFICIAL | El #RealBetis y el @FCBarcelona acuerdan la cesión de Vitor Roque ✍✅¡Bienvenido al Villamarín! 🐯💚— Real Betis Balompié 🌴💚 (@RealBetis) August 26, 2024 During the loan, Betis will cover Roque’s entire salary. Barcelona had an additional request that Roque be ineligible to play against them, but the player refused this condition. As a result, he will be able to face his former team and possibly prove them wrong. Xavi did not show much faith in him, even when Robert Lewandowski was out of form. Roque only accumulated just over 350 minutes across 16 matches in all competitions, scoring two goals. At Betis, he is expected to play a much more significant role, as Manuel Pellegrini has been without a true striker. Borja Iglesias has moved to Celta, Willian José to Spartak Moscow, and Cedric Bakambu is injured, leaving Aitor Ruibal, typically a right-back, as the most advanced player in Sunday’s match against Alavés.It’s August and Barca still didn’t sell RoqueAnther Barcelona player was loaned today, this time to Atlético Madrid. the French defender Clément Lenglet will be in Madrid until 30 June 2025, with no option of a permanent transfer.
