Palmeiras is not deterred by reports that Vitor Roque will stay in real betis for the rest of the season, with the Brazilian giants who are recorded in the transfer window. The deal could amount to conversations between Barcelona and Betis.
Roque came on loan last summer, where BETIS retains both an option to extend his loan and to buy € 80% of his rights for a fee of € 25 million, so that Barcelona could earn their money on the teen lot. Recent reports, however, claim that Los Verdiblancos does not intend to do this.
Nevertheless, and despite the signing of Cucho Hernandez on Deadline day for € 13 million from Columbus Crew, the outfit of Manuel Pellegrini believes that let Roque go too much risk for the end of the season, because they fight in Europe and in La and in La and in La Vechten Liga, hunting for qualifying next season. That is at least the line that is leaked, but Sport says that Palmeiras is not convinced.
Betis is of the opinion that they should be compensated for the early termination of the Roque loan, and withdraw money. O Verdao are not going to negotiate with betis, but are willing to match the option of Betis to buy with Barcelona. Ultimately, it will come down to whether Barcelona can convince Betis to end the Roque loan, and with how much they want to say goodbye to do this.
The player is also ready to have rejected the approach, but Palmeiras clearly believes that they still have a chance and are willing to make an 'astronomical' offer for him. He currently has a deal until 2031 with Barcelona.
Roque will not return to Barcelona next summer, with a different loan movement or a permanent transfer predicted. Barcelona must now make the choice between whether it should be possible to lose some money, but the majority of what they have spent, earn back or hold a better offer in the summer. The Blaugrana spent a first € 30 million on Roque as an 18-year-old, but after just 353 minutes he decided that he was not for them.
