Barca's plan remains to loan Vitor Roque out to another team

Barcelona have a problem with Vitor Roque. After four consecutive absences despite being on Xavi Hernandez's squad lists - against PSG, Real Madrid, Valencia and Girona - his agent Andre Cury said in an interview on 'RAC1' that his client is not at all happy with the deal. In fact, he even revealed that his coach is not speaking to him and refused to accept a loan move away from the club for next season.

His story clashes head-on with the intentions of the Catalan side's board, which have been made clearer than ever by reports in various national press outlets. The newspaper 'Marca' maintains that Joan Laporta's board will not be swayed by the words of the representative and that, if they have to close a loan deal for the Brazilian because it is the best fit with their sporting plan, they will do so.

'Sport' says that the case is still open and that no one can take responsibility for his signing from Athletico Paranaense, who received around 40 million euros for him. Neither the presidency nor the sporting management have ever expressed that 'Tigrinho' arrived in Europe on the recommendation or request of any of them.

In 'Mundo Deportivo', it is reported that Vitor Roque has even cried at home because of the bad sporting situation he is going through. "Although he has always stood out for his joy, now he is sad and even at home he is not able to disconnect from his situation in the team, even to the point of crying," says a news item published about the forward, who has only played 13 games this season, two of them as a starter.
