By The move of Brazilian forward Vitor Roque, 18, from Athletico Paranaense to Barcelona is anticipated to be completed this week. The teenage attacker will have a staggering €1 billion release clause under the terms of a deal between Barcelona and Athletico Paranaense, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Barcelona is certain that Roque will become a well-known name in football. Roque has played 27 games for Athletico Paranaense this season, scoring 12 goals and dishing out 5 assists. According to transfermarkt.com, his market value is pegged at €18 million.
In other transfer news, Wolverhampton Wanderers’ defensive midfielder Ruben Neves has been acquired by Al-Hilal. Neves was viewed by FC Barcelona manager Xavi as the ideal Sergio Busquets successor, and he had previously indicated a great desire to join the team.
The Portuguese midfielder chose to join Al-Hilal instead because the deal was profitable. Neves’ rumoured transfer cost of €55 million makes him the most expensive player a Saudi Arabian team has acquired this summer. Neves and Al-Hilal have agreed to the terms of a deal that will last through the summer of 2027. In 41 games for Wolverhampton last season, he scored six goals and provided one assist.
These transfers serve as a reminder of the active transfer market in football. Vitor Roque’s pursuit by Barcelona demonstrates their dedication to securing bright young talent for the future. Their confidence in Roque’s potential is further evidenced by the inclusion of an exorbitant release clause.
On the other side, Al-Hilal’s signing of Ruben Neves demonstrates their desire to bolster their team through a large monetary commitment. Neves’ decision to join Al-Hilal shows that he chose to give financial factors some thought.
Fans and football lovers will keenly follow these transactions when the transfer window closes and any possible effects they may have on the individual teams. Barcelona thinks that Vitor Roque will live up to their expectations and emulate their legendary former star Lionel Messi, while Al-Hilal anticipates that Ruben Neves will strengthen their midfield and help them achieve their goals of winning both domestically and internationally.
