Juventus’ interest in the Brazilian striker
Vitor Roque’s continuity at FC Barcelona is in doubt due to the growing interest of several European clubs. Among these teams, Juventus have shown particular interest in the Brazilian striker. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve are considering a concrete proposal to take Roque. This interest is still current, and the Italian club is willing to present a formal offer in the coming days.
Juventus’ proposal
The Juventus proposal involves a loan for one season with a purchase option at the end of the contract. However, this purchase option would not be mandatory and would be below the 30 million euros that Barcelona recently paid Athletico Paranaense for the player. Although the offer seems tempting, the Barça board is not completely convinced to accept these terms. The club’s priority is to recover the investment made or, failing that, not to include any purchase option in the agreement.
Deco and Hansi Flick trust Vitor Roque
Despite the rumors about a possible departure, Barça continues to value Vitor Roque’s permanence in the team. The sports director, Deco, who was instrumental in bringing the young talent to Barcelona, maintains his confidence in the forward. The intention is for Roque to be able to play a full season at the Barça club after having adapted over the last six months. Last season, Roque participated in 16 games, scoring two goals.
New Barcelona coach Hansi Flick also has high expectations for Vitor Roque. Flick wants to evaluate the player during the preseason and believes that Roque has the potential to fit perfectly into his tactical scheme. This confidence in the young forward reinforces the idea that Barça is in no hurry to get rid of him, despite the interest of other clubs.
Vitor Roque committed to Barcelona
Despite the tempting offer from Juventus, Vitor Roque remains committed to his future at Barcelona. Until he receives clear instructions from the club, the Brazilian has no intention of looking for a way out. His focus remains on working hard and taking advantage of any opportunity to establish himself in the team.
