Brazilian Vitor Roque arrived at Barcelona in January this year and received few opportunities in the team of now former coach Xavi. With new coach Hansi Flick, the 19-year-old striker wants to show what he is capable of and have more minutes in the Spanish team. However, this may not happen due to La Liga’s financial fair play, which would force Barça to loan the player.
Since January, Vitor Roque has only been able to play for Barcelona “thanks” to the injury of midfielder Gavi, who was left out for the rest of the season. The Brazilian was signed up in place of the Spanish player and was able to play because Barça was within the championship’s financial fair-play limit.

However, Gavi will be recovered for the start of next season, making it necessary to register Vitor Roque and the Spaniard at the same time. Barcelona don’t know if they will be able to sign the Brazilian without violating the Spanish Championship’s financial rules.
If Barcelona are unable to register Vitor Roque, the Catalan club is considering a loan for the Brazilian. The Spanish do not want to lose total control of the athlete, due to the large investment that was made in the young striker when they took him from Athletico Paranaense.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Fiorentina is very interested in Vitor Roque. The Florence club has already contacted the Brazilian player’s staff to find out the feasibility of a possible loan. Barcelona are waiting to see if they will be able to sign the Brazilian and thus use him throughout the next season.
