Barcelona sign Brazilian forward Vitor Roque on seven-year deal from 2024 | Football News – Times of India
Although specific financial details were not disclosed by Barcelona, media reports suggest that the transfer fee amounts to 40 million euros ($44.07 million), with an additional 21 million euros in potential add-ons.
Roque is widely regarded as the potential successor to Robert Lewandowski, who is set to turn 35 years old next month.
At just 18 years old, Roque has already made a significant impact at Paranaense, scoring 22 goals in 66 appearances. His contributions played a vital role in helping the club reach the final of the Copa Libertadores last season.
Furthermore, Roque made his debut for the Brazilian national team in March, becoming the youngest player ever to do so for the five-time world champions.
His early success and immense potential have generated considerable excitement among football fans and experts alike.
“In footballing terms, a centre forward still in development but his adaptability means he can also play on the wing should the situation require,” Barcelona said in a statement.
“An excellent reader of the game he also stands out for his pace and his finishing skills in front of goal.”
Barcelona said they have inserted a buyout clause of 500 million euros into his contract.
