Young footballer Roque has recently attracted the interest of football fans all around the world. The Brazilian forward has swiftly established a reputation for himself thanks to his abilities and skills. Roque, who is well-known for his ability to score goals, has demonstrated his skill on the field and has been praised for his quickness, adaptability, and outstanding sense of timing. Roque has a promising football future because he has already represented Brazil and Club Athletico Paranaense. Fans are looking forward to seeing his development and performance in the upcoming years after Barcelona just signed him to a long-term contract that runs until the year 2031.
Forward Roque, an 18-year-old football player from Brazil, has a deal with Barcelona. When Roque was a member of Club Athletico Paranaense, he showed off his skills by scoring 22 goals in 66 games. Roque is well known for his ability to adapt and his potential. Last year, his performances helped his team win the Copa Libertadores.
Roque created history by becoming the five-time world champions' youngest debutant ever when he made his national team debut for Brazil at a tender age. Roque is expected to contribute for Barcelona as a center forward, but he can switch to the wing if necessary. The club had high expectations for him, as evidenced by his prolonged contract extension until 2031 and the inclusion of a 500 million euro buyout clause.
Barcelona made an official announcement on Wednesday, revealing that they have successfully secured an agreement with Club Athletico Paranaense to acquire the talented Brazilian forward, Vitor Roque.
The talented player is set to join the Spanish champions starting from the 2024-25 season, signing a contract that will extend until 2031.
While specific financial terms were not disclosed, various media reports indicate that Barcelona secured the transfer for a fee of 40 million euros ($44.07 million), along with 21 million euros in potential add-ons. Roque is seen as a potential successor to Robert Lewandowski, who is approaching his 35th birthday next month.
With 22 goals in 66 games the previous season, the 18-year-old striker showed off his extraordinary talent and assisted Paranaense in reaching the Copa Libertadores final. When he made his national team debut for Brazil in March, he added to his already excellent resume by becoming the youngest player to ever get a cap for the storied five-time world champions. Due to his tremendous achievements at such a young age, he has undeniably established himself as a rising star in the football world.
"In footballing terms, a centre forward still in development but his adaptability means he can also play on the wing should the situation require," Barcelona said in a statement.
"An excellent reader of the game he also stands out for his pace and his finishing skills in front of goal."
Barcelona has confirmed the inclusion of a buyout clause worth 500 million euros in his contract.
