Barcelona hopes to have Vitor Roque exit signed before the Brazilian transfer window closes on 28 February.
As part of long-term transfersaga, the 19-year-old will complete a daring return to his native country in Palmeiras, only 13 months after he arrived at Barcelona from Athletico Paranaense.
The teenager has passed a difficult stint in Catalonia, after arrival with great promise in Barcelona last January, but he had trouble making an impact in the second half of the 2023/24 season.
His overwhelming form, and the arrival of Hansi film as the new boss of Barcelona, meant the need for change from both parties before the start of the 2024/25 campaign.
He chose to join Real Betis for a seasonal loan agreement, but similar problems with his shape appeared, while a clear start broke out at the end of 2024.
With his prospects cut in both Catalonia and Andalucia, Palmeiras saw the chance to make a movement, despite the need for a complex exit plan.
The negotiation process has been difficult for all clubs involved, because Barcelona accepted an offer worth € 25.5 million from Palmeiras, but to make the deal progress, they had to be approved by Real Betis and FIFA to cancel his loan.
Los Verdiblancos also wanted a fee for losing him halfway through the season, and they now have, because Barcelona agreed to give them 30% more of the rights of EZ Abde and to take them up to 80%.
With an agreement now completed, time is now the only problem, because the striker is flying to Brazil to sign a five -year -old deal.
The release of another player will release the financial limitations in Barcelona and release the required salary space to ratify the 12 -month extension of Inigo Martinez.
According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the club will also come closer to registering the incoming renewal of Lamine Yamal, for priority before summer.
