Barcelona’s Financial Fair Play Issues Cause Uncertainty for Signing Vitor Roque

Last summer, Barcelona closed an agreement with the Athletico Paranaense to sign Vitor Roque for which it will pay 31 million euros and a similar amount in variables. The two clubs agreed that the forward would finish the season in Brazil and join the Barça team next January or in June at the latest. Right now the chances of him arriving in winter are almost zero.

The problem is that Barcelona continues with Financial Fair Play problems. In the last summer market, the Sports Directorate exhausted all the space it had to register players and to do so they had to guarantee worth 12 million euros. At that time, there was zero salary space. And the situation has subsequently worsened due to the renewal of Xavi and his staff, which directly influences Fair Play, and the renewals of Balde and Lamine Yamal, although these two have a minimal impact.

Short template

Barcelona, ​​furthermore, is still immersed in the 1/2 rule. That is to say, if you release wage bill for one million you can only register for the value of half a million. Vitor Roque’s cost for the remaining six months of the season is 4 million between amortization and token, so it would have to free up wage bill worth twice as much. And facing winter it does not seem likely that Barcelona will part with any player since Xavi’s squad is proving to be very short, there are only 19 players with a first team record. In fact, no sales are expected.

Gavi Registration

Another factor to take into account is that the club also wants to register Gavi. At this moment he is a first team player due to a precautionary court order before the litigation is resolved. The Sports Directorate wants to regularize the footballer’s situation as soon as possible. In fact, he is a higher priority than Vitor Roque. The club, on the other hand, is working to obtain the pending financing for the last lever that it could not pay in the summer. Libero did not contribute the promised money, so the Culé Board is already looking for other operators who are willing to pay. And this is essential because the moment the financing arrives, the club will be in the 1/1 rule in terms of signings.

Vitor Roque’s injury

And finally, we must take into account the physical condition of the player who is injured at this moment. All forecasts indicate that he will be ready for January, but this must be confirmed. Due to the national team break, Deco intends to travel to Brazil to visit the player and see how his recovery is going. He will also meet with directors of Athletico Paranaense. Another mission of Deco there is to not accelerate the player’s reappearance in the last games.
