A 'labyrinth' with no way out: The departure of one of Barça's discards once again 'runs aground'

FC Barcelona still hasn't found a solution for Vitor Roque's future. The Barça entity is clear that the footballer will not continue under the orders of Hansi Flick next season and will not register him, but his operation once again encounters a new 'obstacle'. The Brazilian's entourage welcomed his departure to Lazio, but the Romans' offer did not satisfy the Barça's demands and they rejected the proposal, waiting to find a better solution for the remainder of the season. summer.

The formula proposed from the Italian capital to obtain the signing of 'Tigrinho' did not convince the Blaugranas. The eagles were about to pay 20 million euros for 50% of the player's rights while waiting for a sale in the future, an offer that was denied in Can Barça, where they have valued the striker at 40 'kilos' in case of definitive sale, a figure that Lazio is not willing to reach.

This was explained by the newspaper 'Corriere dello Sport', where they maintain that the Catalans insisted on reaching an agreement with Neymar Jr.'s Al-Hilal, who had no problem reaching the 40 million euros demanded by the club, to which that would include some bonuses that would increase the total amount. This alternative was the one preferred by the Barcelona fans, but both Roque and his entourage were determined to negotiate his departure to Saudi Arabia despite the fact that the Asians' contractual proposal was astronomical.

However, despite the South American's refusal, Al-Hilal's offer would still be on Barça's table and they want to force the issue with the footballer once the tour of the United States is over, since this entry would mean an important relief for the entity's coffers. With this sale the investment made by the Brazilian would be recovered and an unforeseen income would even be generated by a footballer who does not count for Hansi Flick.

The player is clear about his destiny

For Roque there are no doubts: he wants to continue playing in Europe. The Lazio option was very much to the footballer's taste, but the Catalans maintain his position firmly and hope to receive what is required by his transfer. In the Spotify Camp Nou offices, they would also have several loan offers for the player, although the priority would be to give him a permanent release. Both Porto and Betis remain waiting, although in both cases the clubs would only assume the goalscorer's record for one season and a non-obligatory purchase option would be included.
