While they didn't want to bring Messi back, the money they will spend on Vitor Roque

Barcelona has experienced a significantly better 2022-2023 season compared to the previous one. The Culés were crowned champions of LaLiga and also won the Supercopa, defeating their eternal rival, Real Madrid. Although they are still in the process of recovering their distinctive style of play, Barcelona has regained that winning gene that seemed to have been lost.

In modern football, transfers play an increasingly crucial role, and that is why the club has invested in this aspect. Under the leadership of Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany, a solid squad has been assembled, incorporating notable names such as Jules Koundé and Franck Kessié. Now, the board seeks to maintain the same focus, and despite the hard blow of Lionel Messi's rejection, the club has secured a new star signing.

According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona and Atlético Paranaense have reached an agreement for the signing of Vítor Roque. This player has become the great desire of the Culés' board, and after several weeks of negotiations, they have finally secured his acquisition.

According to Catalan media, the transfer has been finalized for a fee of 35 million EUR, with an additional 10 million based on certain objectives that the player achieves at the Blaugrana club. Although negotiations had been stalled between both clubs, the 35+10 offer has proved to be practically irresistible.

<br/>Expectations are high

Vítor Roque is considered one of the future stars of Brazilian football, and Barcelona has great expectations for him. The Catalan club takes the example of Real Madrid, which has bet on young players like Vinicius or Rodrygo, who have become key assets for the club. Barcelona is confident that Roque can become a standout player and contribute his talent to the team.
