Barcelona is confident that this time it will not miss another Brazilian talent › FCBarca.com

Journalist last Tuesday sports Joaquim Piera reported that negotiations had begun on the transfer of Vitor Roque to Barcelona, ​​and today he reports that the club’s sports management is convinced that this time no one will “clean up” her young talented Brazilian. The key is to be the firm will of the player himself and his surroundings.

According to Joaquim Piera from the diary Sport, Barça’s sporting directorate believes there will be no “endrick repeat” with Vitor Roque. The Athletico Paranaense striker, who will turn 18 on February 28, would arrive at Barça to fill the role of complementary centre-forward Robert Lewandowski while developing under the guidance of the Polish striker.

Barça are hoping for a decidedly different conclusion to the saga than Endrick, Andrey Santos or Danilo, whom they were interested in, but were preceded by Real Madrid, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest. The attitude of the sports management is different with Vitor Roque. However, the operation must be finalized in the coming months. Club Furacao has valued his player at €30 million plus variables that could go up to €5 million – a price very close to what Real paid Palmeiras for Endrick.

The club, whose president is Mario Celso Petraglia, and therefore, as Joaquim Piera writes, “a very hard nut to crack” in any negotiations, would accept deferred payments, and this is crucial for Barcelona. It will be necessary to find an ingenious formula to “fit in” a deal next season within financial fair play.

The success of the transfer depends on the cooperation of the player and his family, as well as his agent André Cury, who worked for Barça as an envoy in South America for more than a decade. According to sports the transfer will be real only with the firm attitude of Vitor Roque and his entourage. Without the striker’s firmness, Barcelona are unlikely to be able to resist the appetite of Premier League clubs.

Barça therefore moved quickly to negotiate with Deco, an external adviser to President Laporta, taking advantage of his friendship with Luiz Felipe Scolari, who is now the football coordinator of Athletico Paranaense. The foundations have already been laid.
