Following Athletico Paraense’s early exit from the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday night, there was renewed hope for Barcelona to bring new signing Vitor Roque to the club this summer, but the club has been sent a very strong message about the Brazilian’s immediate future.
Athletico CEO Alexandre Mattos spoke to Fabrizio Romano and shut the door on any possibility of an early exit for the team’s top scorer and best player, with the Brazilian club fully counting on Vitor Roque for the final 20 games of their league campaign as they will fight to qualify for next season’s Libertadores.
