Club decides against loan move for youngster
FC Barcelona has officially ended speculation about Vitor Roque’s potential loan move this summer. Despite the youngster’s limited game time since his debut in January, the club is determined to keep him for the upcoming season.
Roque, 19, has struggled to get significant minutes under manager Xavi, totaling just over 200 minutes in 11 appearances across all tournaments. However, Barcelona’s coaching staff and sports management continue to be impressed by his attitude and contributions.
The decision to keep Roque comes from the belief that he needs more time to integrate and develop within the team. Despite his limited appearances, Roque has made an impression, scoring two crucial goals and shown the capacity to influence games with his work rate and pressuring.
In a recent interview, Roque expressed confidence in his future at Barcelona, stating his belief that he will eventually become an integral part of the team. His commitment to learning and improving has further convinced the club of his potential.
With a current market value of €40 million, Barcelona sees Roque as a long-term investment, prioritizing his development over a potential loan move. The club remains steadfast in its support for the young Brazilian, affirming its complete commitment towards his growth within the squad.
As Barcelona looks ahead to the next season, Roque will continue his adaptation period with the team, aiming to establish himself as a key player in the Blaugrana’s future endeavors.
