How much did Vitor Roque's transfer to Palmeiras really cost? The numbers no one tells you!

Brazilian forward Vitor Roque returned to his country with Palmeiras, after this team paid 25.5 million fixed, plus 5 in variables to Barcelona to retain 80% of his sporting rights.

However, there are interesting clauses that Barça included in the player's contract before he signed with 'Verdao'. If Palmeiras decides to sell 'Tigrinho' during the five years that the player signed, Barcelona would have to receive 20% of the sale.

For this to happen, the São Paulo team would need to sell Vitor Roque for 30 million or more, although Barcelona would accept an extra 10% if the young striker is transferred for less than 30 'kilos'.

The variables that could bring more money to Barcelona

Now, for Barça to receive the five million in variables, 'Tigrinho' must be one of the best players in the Club World Cup that will take place from June 14 to July 13; with this, the azulgrana team would receive an additional 2 million.

In addition, another 2 'kilos' would enter Barcelona's coffers if the forward finishes among the three finalists for the Ballon d'Or and one million if Palmeiras wins an international title in the next five seasons, according to information leaked by 'Mundo Deportivo'.

Overall, Barcelona is practically guaranteed to recover 100% of the money they paid for Roque to Athletico Paranaense in 2023. The club also avoided paying an additional 31 million in variables that were included in the negotiation with the 'rojinegro' team.
