Despite a mouth-watering offer from the current Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal, the Barcelona youngster is unwilling to move
Brazilian youngster Vitor Roque's tenure at Barcelona has been full of uncertainty since his arrival and after a challenging few months in Catalonia, the club's sporting department appears eager to sell the teenage forward.
Barcelona keen to sell Roque
Barcelona views Roque as their prime candidate for a high-value sale to help them alleviate their current financial crises and possibly fund incoming transfers this summer.
The club has been particularly keen on an approach from Al Hilal, the reigning Saudi Pro League champions, hoping for a lucrative deal.
In recent weeks, Al Hilal has made two offers for Roque. However, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the young forward has turned down both proposals.
Roque determined to fight for Barcelona future
Despite the temptation of a substantial financial package from Al Hilal, Roque is adamant about continuing his career at Barcelona and his resolve presents a dilemma for Barcelona's management, who are eager to offload him to alleviate financial pressures.
Roque's determination to stay put complicates Barcelona's plans, as it is improbable that any other club would match the financial package proposed by Al Hilal, and this development is a setback for those within the club pushing for a sale, as they must now seek alternative solutions.
It remains unclear whether Roque would be willing to leave Barcelona for another side in Europe despite the club’s willingness to sell him, and his agent’s previous comments threatening to take the Brazilian elsewhere if the Blaugrana do not value his client.
