Barcelona have loaned Victor Roque to Real Betis until the end of the season, with the option to buy for an additional year. The Catalan giants signed Roque

from Athletico Paranaense last summer for around €30 million with €31 million in add-ons, and the player officially joined the club in January. However, the

19-year-old has struggled for opportunities under Xavi Hernandez and failed to impress new coach Hansi Flick during pre-season. As a result, Barca have

been trying to sell him throughout the summer, and have previously accepted a €20 million offer from Sporting Lisbon, with €12 million in add-ons.

Betis also has the option to extend the loan for another year. There is also an option to sign Roque on a permanent basis, ยูฟ่าเบท and they are covering the player’s wages.

Roque made his name with Paranaense last year, scoring 21 goals in 45 appearances, a performance that has also earned him his senior Brazil debut.
