With the hiring of Vitor Roque sure, the president of barcelona spoke this Tuesday, 11, for the first time about the player. In an interview with the newspapers “Mundo Deportivo” and “Sport”, the representative, Joan Laporta, showed excitement in having the young man, who should appear in January or July 2024.
“You’re already hired. We have this feasibility plan and it’s due in January or June unless the anticipated circumstances improve, although they still could. The contract is signed and done and the player is already from Barça. It’s beautiful game“, assured the Catalan top hat at the opportunity.
Afterwards, Laporta made a point of demonstrating his animosity towards the signing, even citing other Brazilian stars who passed through the club, but without comparing, since according to him, Vitor “has a very unique style”. The announcement of the transfer, and its arrival depend on the sale of athletes, due to the Spanish financial fair play.
“(I hope) Goals. It’s a very unique style. You can’t compare with Ronaldo or Romário. It is a player who steps into the box and shoots with both legs from anywhere within the box. It’s different from what we’ve had. I can’t say it’s a Ronnie because he plays differently, nor a Romário, who looked like a cartoon“.
Anyway, as the president said, the contract is signed with an expected payment of 72 million euros for the player. 40 million are fixed, 65% for Athletico-PR and 15% for America-MG. Meanwhile, 21 million will be paid according to pre-stipulated targets, and the remaining 11 will be imposed. Hurricane will still be entitled to 20% of a future sale.
