Vitor Roque Set for Two-Year Loan Move to Real Betis from Barcelona
Barcelona’s young forward Vitor Roque is set to make a temporary switch to Real Betis, marking a significant move for the 19-year-old as he looks to reignite his career in La Liga.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Roque will arrive in Seville tonight, with the loan deal expected to be finalized and announced within the next 24 hours.
Roque’s journey at Barcelona has been far from smooth. After joining the club just eight months ago, the Brazilian striker has struggled to find his footing, making only 16 appearances and netting two goals.
Despite his potential, he has found himself on the fringes of Xavi’s squad, prompting Barcelona to seek a solution that benefits both the player and the club.
Initially, Barcelona aimed for a permanent transfer, with Sporting CP expressing interest in securing Roque’s services.
However, the youngster had his heart set on staying in Spain and was determined to join Real Betis. His insistence paid off, with the two clubs reaching an agreement after days of negotiations.
The loan deal is expected to span two years, giving Roque ample time to prove his worth under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini.
Although the specific terms of the agreement remain undisclosed, there are believed to be several clauses that could influence Roque’s future at both clubs.
For Roque, this move represents a chance to showcase the talent that once made him one of Brazil’s most promising young forwards.
If he can rediscover his form at Real Betis, Barcelona might either welcome him back with open arms or look to sell him for a profit.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see Roque in action, as he could make his debut against none other than Real Madrid on September 1.
All eyes will be on the young Brazilian to see if he can turn his fortunes around in Seville and prove his doubters wrong.
