If Barcelona were forced to make some big sales to improve their financial situation, one player would certainly be at the top of Vitor Roque's list. The 19-year-old struggled during his first spell in Catalonia, which led to him being loaned out to Real Betis, where he has done quite well this season.
Betis have the option to buy Roque, but it may not be easy for them as CaughtOffside has reported that there is significant Premier League interest in Roque. In concrete terms, this concerns Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United. Crystal Palace and Brentford are enthusiastic.
Roque has shown signs that he has finally adapted to Spanish football, and if he can continue to do so for the rest of the season, it could be wise for Barcelona to retain his services. However, their financial problems mean that a sale is probably the most likely outcome at some point.
