Barcelona have fallen behind the pack in the La Liga title race in the early weeks of the 2023\/24 season, and it seems there is a need for another clinical goal-scorer to turn the draws into wins. It appears that Xavi Hernandez’s side might get that in the January transfer window with the arrival of Vitor Roque.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barcelona Likely to Seal Vitor Roque Signing in January<\/span><\/h2>\n

What Did Roque\u2019s Agent Say About Transfer Window Situation?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Barcelona announced the signing of Roque from Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense earlier this year, with the young forward deciding to join them over the\u00a0<\/span>other sides that wanted to sign<\/span><\/a>\u00a0him. However, as part of the arrangement, Athletico were given assurances – that they would be allowed to keep the attacker at the club until the end of 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also appears that the La Liga giants want to register the young forward, who is currently out with an ankle injury, into their first-team squad during the January transfer window. The player’s agent, Arthur Cury, has\u00a0<\/span>stated that<\/span><\/a>\u00a0“everything has been agreed” between the necessary parties to ensure that the 18-year-old is playing in Barcelona colours for the second half of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued: “Barcelona and the player’s plan remains clear: he\u2019s joining the club in January. Everything has been agreed with Paranaense for him to join in January. He’s now recovering, we feel he could be ready in four weeks.”<\/span><\/p>\n

What Can Roque Bring to Barcelona?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The teenage forward has earned praise for his impressive work for the Brazilian club, where he has proved himself as a versatile and agile threat. Roque can operate anywhere across the front, be it either of the wings. But his best position is in the centre-forward role, where he shows how clinical he is in front of goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roque scored 20 goals and provided eight assists in 42 appearances last season – but has had troubles with injury issues this season. He has also made 11 appearances for the Brazi U20 side, scoring six goals. The 18-year-old has been tipped to\u00a0<\/span>have a “bright future”<\/span><\/a>\u00a0by Manchester City legend Fernandinho and should help improve Barcelona’s attacking options after joining the team.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
