Real Betis Sporting Director Manu Fajardo was unambiguous during the weekend that Vitor Roque had not asked for a deviation from the club, in the midst of consistent ties with Brazilian Giants Palmeiras. O Verdao reportedly wants to make a splash in the transfer market and will try to close a deal before the end of the month, or return in the summer for Roque.
“Neither he nor FC Barcelona, nor his entourage, nor I asked Vítor Roque to leave. It is incorrect, “Fajardo told Relo this weekend, but the rumors about his future continue to exist. Last week, agent Andre Cury denied that there was also a movement on the cards and Betis is said to be reluctant to weaken their team before the last few months of the season. Sport says there are two stimuli for Los Verdiblancos to accept a potential exit.
One is the potential saving on Roque's salary, and another is a financial fine that confronts BETIS if Roque does not reach a fixed number of starts this season. With the arrival of Cucho Hernandez and the recent preference of Manuel Pellegrini for Cedric Bakambu above the Brazilian, which is threatened.
However, the most important shift for one of the pieces to fall into place is that Palmeiras Roque convinces to make the movement, something they still have to do. Roque has his own doubts about the idea of returning to Brazil after just a year in European football, but is also well aware of the fact that his minutes are limited and want to play football regularly.
For their part, Barcelona will need the suspected betis a financial incentive of them to punish the exit. However, they will not make a movement until Palmeiras has the green light of Roque. They would like to accept the € 27 million offer Palmeiras is willing to put Roque on the table, so that they can earn back their money from a player who is no longer in their plans.
