It’s safe to say that Vitor Roque has had an incredibly difficult start to life as a Barcelona player. He was barely counted on during the second half of last season, and despite the change of management, it appeared that his prominence has not increased – if anything, it has gone down further.
As such, a departure has been inevitable. A permanent sale would allow Barcelona to ease their financial burdens, and one for Roque could be about to take place.
Roque reportedly wants to remain in La Liga, although he could now be heading to Portugal. Matteo Moretto has revealed that Barcelona are in talks with Sporting CP over a deal for the teenage striker.
Sporting would be a fine move for Roque to revitalise his career. Barcelona will be determined to secure as much as money from the sale, although it remains to be seen how much the Portuguese giants can afford to pay.
