FC Barcelona bid €25m for Brazilian wonderkid
The Catalans are adamant to bring Victor Roque to Camp Nou
Andre Cury, agent of Victor Roque had earlier said that a certain “Spanish Club” had submitted a bid for Victor Roque. However, Globo Esporte later revealed it was Barca who came knocking along with two other clubs. Athletico Paranaense stated that all three offers were rejected as they rate their player even higher.
THE BIGGER PICTURE:
Roque is one of the latest wonderkids to have emerged in Brazil following the likes of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, and Endrick. Roque is a versatile forward who is capable of playing on both wings and in the center forward role. The 17-year-old has attracted interest from Premier League outfit Arsenal as well.
WHAT DID THEY SAY?
Cury believes that Roque is ready to make a name for himself in Europe.
He said, “Victor has managed to show that he has all the physical, mental, and technical characteristics to be playing for a great club in Europe. The great 9s in Europe are old, like Benzema, Cavani, Lewandowski, and they will open a gap for these players.”
WHAT NEXT FOR ROQUE?
As of now, the forward will continue to feature for Athletico Paranaense. The club will let him leave only if a suitable offer is presented. The Blaugrana are optimistic about securing his signature.
