FC Barcelona are looking to move on promising young star Vitor Roque, according to reports. This after he signed from Athletico Paranaense and arrived just earlier this year.
This situation points to a bigger problem behind the scenes, a disconnect between Barcelona’s manager Xavi, its board, and its sporting director, Deco.
Of course, the person in charge of it all is club president Joan Laporta, who hires the people who make the decisions. He’s the one who will be ultimately judged for the success or failure of the project.
Rumors of a disconnect between Xavi and Deco are nothing new, and there is hope that Xavi’s decision to stay after saying he would leave at the end of the season meant that the pair had reached a better understanding.
