Barcelona receive “boost” in efforts to sell Vitor Roque this summer

Barcelona have decided that they want to sell Vitor Roque this summer, despite having previously considered a loan deal. They are desperate to bring significant funds in, which would be used to return to La Liga’s 1:1 rule, thus also allowing them to register all of their first team players before the transfer window closes later this month.

The asking price for Roque has been set at a minimum of €30m – the fixed fee they paid to Athletico Paranaense last summer. Currently, no one has reached this figure, but that could soon change.

Porto are one of the teams to have registered their interest in Roque, as per MD, and they are about to receive €47m from Bournemouth for the sale of Evanilson. Barcelona could see this as money to be re-invested in Roque, especially as the Portuguese giants need a replacement striker.

Roque’s situation has been a very sad state of affairs for Barcelona. It’s one they appear determined to wash their hands of as soon as possible. For now, it remains to be seen whether this will be the case.
