The number “10” in Barcelona is looking for a new owner, after Juan Laporta and Matteo Alemani decided to withdraw him from Ansu Fati. Initially, the idea was to sell the Spain international, leaving that figure available for the new deal, although the search for a buyer has become more complicated than expected. No team has shown much interest in signing him, nor have they received any offers yet.
In addition, Ansu Fati has made it clear that his desire is to stay at the Camp Nou, so it is possible for him to stay, even if he wears another number on his back.
It is certain that Leo Messi will not wear it, after he decided to move from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami, led by David Beckham. He did not have the patience that Xavi Hernandez asked of him, and chose to accept the offer that came to him from the United States.
The possible return of the World Cup champion in Qatar has been, for several months, the primary goal of the board, which has already finished forgetting the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner. They assume it will be impossible to see him again in La Liga, and this summer was the perfect opportunity for him to sign, capitalizing on the fact that he was free. However, he has decided to retire in Major League Soccer.
And Nike, which is pressuring Barcelona so that there is a star that doubles the sale of shirts, has chosen the player it wants to inherit the number “10”, which in the past had legends such as Ronaldinho, Diego Armando Maradona and Michael Laudrup.
It comes to Vitor Roque, Barcelona’s next signing, and it’s only a matter of time before he’s offered. They will pay 35 million euros to Brazil’s Atlético Paranaense, plus another 10 depending on the variables.
Signing him was a personal recommendation from Deco and Andre Curie, and Laporta went to great lengths to secure one of the most promising pearls on the South American continent.
By awarding the number ’10’ shirt to Vitor Roque, they will demonstrate the enormous confidence Barcelona have placed in the just 18-year-old striker, who would have had star streaks from almost day one. He is expected to be very important in Xavi’s plans, although he will first have to get through the period of acclimatization to European football.
Nike explains that the former Cruzeiro player meets all the requirements to end up as a global star.
