Barcelona chief Deco says they remain hopeful of welcoming Athletico Paranaense striker Vitor Roque in January.
Roque has been signed by Barca and is available to the club from January 2024.
Deco said, “We all want him to come as soon as possible. From the beginning there was talk that he would only come from January, because that was the condition that Athletico Paranaense set. We are doing everything, we know the LaLiga regulations, that there have been some changes that can help us and, if this happens, we also have some responsibilities with LaLiga when it comes to fulfilling some pending things.
“There were some changes in La Liga [their rules] and we have to look at it. We have people in the club, financiers, people from La Liga, people who interpret the regulations depending on our situation… We will unite all of these people and see how we can approach this.
“He is a kid who has goals. And that is very difficult to find. All clubs look for someone with goals. He is young and has important forward movements. He looks for space a lot, he presses, he moves very well behind the center backs, in the area… He has important qualities to be a great player in world football.”
