Barcelona Star Prioritise Joining Laliga Side Amid Brazil, Saudi Links

Barcelona forward, Vitor Roque is reportedly not interested in leaving Spain this summer despite links from Saudi Arabia and Brazil.

The 19-year-old has been tipped to leave the Catalan club despite arriving at the club in January from Brazilian outfit, Athletico Paranaense.

Under former manager Xavi Hernandez, he struggled for playing time. And the sporting department of the club are now willing to sever all relations.

Barcelona would prefer a permanent transfer for him, which is why they are looking for offers from Saudi Arabia. But if Roque does leave in any capacity, it means that a loan agreement is considerably more likely to be required than otherwise.

This is due to reports from Sport as cited by Football Espana stating that Roque is only thinking about two things for the near future: staying at Barcelona or signing with another La Liga team.

Roque wants to be successful at Barça, but if he departs, he would rather play for another Spanish team.

Because of this position, Roque’s agent, Andre Cury, has already declined an approach from Corinthians.

The 19-year-old forward might benefit from a loan transfer to another Spanish team. And he might return to Barcelona next summer in much better shape than he is now.

Last season, the one-time capped Brazil international played 14 Laliga games for the Blaugrana club most of which came as a substitute. He scored just two goals as Barca came second in the Laliga standings.
