Robert Lewandowski’s injury raised the alarm in Barcelona and called on everyone to take action in order to compensate for the loss of the team’s top scorer, whose absence will last for the next three weeks.
The Polish striker was injured from the Barcelona-Porto match, which ended with the Catalan team’s 1-0 victory in the second round of the Champions League group stage last Wednesday.
Although Lewandowski’s return will not be long, it has forced the leaders in Barcelona to think about signing a new striker in the upcoming January transfer to replace the Polish striker in the event that his injury recurs in the second half of the season, taking into account that he is 35 years old and will need periods. To rest.
FC Barcelona has a great objective for the month of January: Vitor Roque (18 years old), Athletico Paranaense forward who signed for the Barça club for 30 million fixed plus 31 million in variables but whose arrival was postponed until the winter market. The Barcelona club has the firm intention of incorporating him as soon as the transfer window opens, but to do so it needs money, at least 40 million, which it hopes to receive from the agreement with the Libero fund or, if it still does not pay, from other businesses. With this panorama, today in the Camp Nou offices they are clear that, although they would like to reinforce some other position, the only operation that can be undertaken, because it is an urgent need, is the registration of the Brazilian goalscorer.
In any case, the club is clear that they are going to do their best to square the ‘fair play’ to be able to register Vitor Roque, who is now injured. We are still waiting for the 40 million from Libero and, although other avenues are being explored, sources from the most solvent club point to MD that they still hope to collect from the German fund, which has had liquidity problems given that it was immersed in a capital increase.
Now, the great interest already existing on the part of Barça to register Vitor Roque already in January has been added to the fact that Xavi Hernández will be left for about three weeks without the injured Robert Lewandowski . Therefore, if ‘nine’ was already needed to have a replacement for the Pole to give him breaks, now he is needed even more so given the loss of the former Bayern Munich player. He is not expected to be inactive for more than a month, but this injury makes it advisable from now on to ‘prescribe’ more rest and dosage, especially taking into account that he is already 35 years old.
Barça closed the signing of Vitor Roque during the last summer market. Now, coincidences of life, the Brazilian player is also recovering from an ankle injury that he suffered on September 22 and that, according to Athletico Paranaense’s forecast , will keep him out for about three months, making him available for end of December, already with his sights set on joining FC Barcelona.
Deco’s journey
The Barça club’s sports director, Deco, is going to see him in Brazil starting this coming Monday, as MD reported. Deco wants to monitor his recovery, which is a conservative treatment, live. Vitor has three ligaments in his right ankle affected and Barça wants the Brazilian club to explain how the goalscorer’s recovery process is going.
Deco will see Vitor Roque with the intention of giving him support now that he is injured and to convey to him that the club is fighting to get him registered with all its resources. He will also ask you to make an effort to recover so that he can arrive at his new club in good shape and not take risks at Athletico Paranaense.
