Athletico Paranaense have announced that Vitor Roque is leaving the club and will move to Barcelona in the January transfer window.
“SEE YOU SOON,” read a post on X. “Last act with the Athletic fans. The match against Santos will be Vitor Roque’s last at the Ligga Arena before heading to Europe.”
Barcelona had already agreed a deal for the young Brazilian to arrive next summer, but the move has now been brought forward.
Xavi has already admitted he wants Vitor Roque in January, saying his arrival would be a big boost, and it looks like he’s been granted this wish.
