Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moreto convey an interesting piece of information. The two authoritative reporters state that the Sporting is in advanced discussions with Barcelona for its acquisition Vitor Roque with an amount exceeding 20 million or close to 30 million euros!
This news could mean that the Lisbon club are starting to come to terms with the idea that they will not be getting the Fotis Ioannidis from the Panathinaikos and turns to the Brazilian to flank Victor Gyokeres in her attack.
19-year-old Vitor Roque, who has a completely different profile to the Greek ace (he is 1.74m tall), was bought for 40 million euros by Atletico Paranaense in January 2024, but is not in the main plans of “Barca”. who wants to sell him to save money for other moves, like Nico Williams.
