BREAKING NEWS: Barcelona 19-year-old forward Vitor Roque set for a swap deal with Manchester United loanee

Vitor Roque, with dreams of joining Barcelona, might face setbacks as his agent pushes for more playtime, hinting at a potential departure. Since his arrival in January, his role has been limited, raising doubts about his future with the team.

This summer, several clubs, including Manchester United, are eyeing Roque’s talents, which could lead to a transfer frenzy. Barcelona, considering options, might engage in a trade involving Roque and Mason Greenwood, who has caught their attention with his stellar performance at Getafe, tallying ten goals and six assists this La Liga season.

However, United prefers individual transfers, posing a challenge to potential negotiations. Roque’s agent has emphasized that a loan is not an option, complicating matters further and pointing towards a permanent transfer, aligning with Barcelona’s interest in Greenwood.

United, securing Greenwood’s future with a contract extension until 2026, aims to leverage a higher transfer fee amidst swirling transfer rumors. Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, has inquired about Greenwood, yet the sporting director remains skeptical.

The situation is fraught with uncertainty. Roque’s dissatisfaction opens a window for Barcelona to address their attacking needs, but United’s preference for separate deals and Roque’s agent’s stance against loans add layers of complexity.

Moreover, Greenwood’s controversial past, including allegations of sexual assault, could deter Barcelona, forcing them to explore other market options.
