Barcelona’s strategy regarding Vitor Roque involves exploring several avenues to maximize their financial and tactical benefits. The club would prefer to sell Roque for a substantial fee, which would bolster their efforts to acquire key targets such as Nico Williams, Dani Olmo, and a new defensive midfielder.
However, another potential option being considered is a loan move. Reports from Tv Band (via Sport) indicate that Corinthians, a prominent Brazilian club, have expressed strong interest in securing Roque on a temporary basis. Discussions have already been initiated between Corinthians and Roque’s agent, Andre Cury. Despite this, executing such a deal is described as highly challenging.
The idea of sending Roque back to Brazil on loan raises questions, given the significant disparity in the competitive levels between Brazilian football and La Liga. Barcelona would likely find it counterproductive to offload the promising young forward after just six months. Moreover, with Hansi Flick now at the helm, there is optimism that Roque could benefit from new tactical insights and management that might rejuvenate his career at Camp Nou.
Ultimately, Barcelona faces a critical decision: whether to secure a lucrative sale that supports their broader transfer ambitions or to opt for a loan that allows Roque to continue developing while potentially returning to the squad with valuable experience.
