The future of Vitor Roque at Barcelona remains uncertain. The Brazilian, who joined the club in January, has not had much playing time since his arrival in Catalonia, where the front office would be open to letting go of the forward to reduce the wage bill.
Neymar’s Al Hilal seems to be the most likely suitor, with a lucrative offer of €40 million. However, “Tigrinho” does not seem very interested in moving to Saudi Arabia. According to Sport, Roque would only accept this transfer if he is offered a significantly higher salary than what he currently earns at Barça.

The Saudi giant’s proposal would double his current salary, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. The forward is asking for even more money. This situation is not well received in Riyadh, where they consider their offer to be already very more than fair for a player who hasn’t played much in Barcelona so far.
At 19 years old, Roque’s next move is a mystery. For now, he remains part of the squad managed by Hansi Flick, but exit rumors continue to swirl around him. If the sale to Al Hilal does not materialize, Lazio or Porto could emerge as possible destinations through a loan move.
Barcelona’s concern is that if Roque does not stand out during his loan period, his value would decrease. In this sense, the offer from Saudi Arabia is tempting for the club. But it seems that the only way it can happen is if Roque feels the financial proposal is impossible to refuse.
