“I think he is going that way, that we are going to bet on him ,” said Barça’s sporting director at the end of the match announcing the inevitable signing for Barca in January.
In need of reinforcements, and also a goal, Barça’s outlook is beginning to become clearer with a view to the January market.
Deco, sports director of the Barça club, confirmed this Saturday on DAZN after the draw against Rayo that Vitor Roque will be Barça’s first reinforcement in the winter market.
“I think he is going down that path, we are going to bet on him ,” said the Brazilian. “ The truth is that we are coordinated (with Xavi). We always talk. There is no one like Gavi on the market, especially in January. Surely, Vitor is the possibility where we are going to be more… It is not decided, but we are going down that path.”
Last summer, Barça announced the signing of Vitor Roque until June 2031, but the scheduled date for his arrival was the summer of 2024. Gavi’s injury, which opens the door to an operation for 80% of the Andalusian’s cost between now and the end of the season, according to LaLiga regulations, it will be used by the Barça club to advance the arrival of Roque, who will be in Barcelona at the end of December.
It remains to be determined the amount that Barça will pay Paranaense for anticipating his arrival. The question now is whether, in addition, Xavi will convince Laporta and Deco to sign a midfielder.
