An insight into the plans of Barcelona youngster Vitor Roque for next season has this week come to the fore online.
As much, of course, comes amid rampant speculation surrounding an impending summer transfer for the Brazilian international.
Claims in the media have mounted over the course of recent days that a decision regarding Roque’s immediate future has been made.
Barcelona’s plan is to farm the 19-year-old out on loan for the 2024/25 campaign, to secure for Roque more regular first-team minutes amid a crucial stage in his development.
A move to a fellow La Liga club is considered the ideal route forward.
Where, though, does the frontman himself stand on the subject?
An insight into as much has today been forthcoming, and points towards Roque being far from happy with the recent chatter surrounding his name.
This comes with the youngster, according to Santi Ovalle of Cadena SER, having only one goal in mind – to stay put and fight for his place in Xavi’s squad next season.
Those ‘closest’ to Roque, it is added, have made it known that he ‘wants to continue and they are not contemplating a transfer’.
