“We can’t continue like this with Vitor Roque and so he could leave Barça on permanent deal” – Fabrizio Romano confirms Vitor Roque’s agent threatens permanent Barcelona exit with furious Xavi criticism
Vitor Roque is a young striker for Barcelona. His agent is upset that his client doesn’t get to play much under boss Xavi and has threatened to look for a permanent move if things don’t get better.
Although Roque joined Barcelona in January for a big fee, he hasn’t played much. In 13 games, he has only played 310 minutes.
His lawyer, Andre Cury, said that Xavi’s behavior was bad and pointed out that the boss and player did not talk to each other.
Cury said that Roque needed more playing time to show what he could do and asked Xavi why he hasn’t used him more often.
He gave examples of other players getting to play while Roque has been sitting on the bench.
People were worried about how the situation would affect Roque’s mental and physical health, as well as his desire to do well.
Cury said that bad media talk hurts people and was upset that the club didn’t deal with the problem right away.
Cury ruled out the idea of Roque going on loan and said that if Barcelona doesn’t give him enough playing time, they will look into options for a permanent move.
He talked about the player’s contract with Barcelona and how important it was to put Roque’s job growth first.
Although Cury understood Roque’s desire to play for Barcelona, he stressed the need to take action if things don’t change.
During the conversation, he talked about talks with former player Deco and said that clubs are interested in signing Roque if Barcelona can’t promise him regular playing time.
Cury said he didn’t care about Xavi’s future at Barcelona and stressed that his main goal was to protect Roque’s job.
He said again how important it was to find a solution that puts Roque’s growth first and said he was ready to work with Barcelona’s leadership to solve the problem.
