The club is still trying to find an opening in the payroll to be able to introduce Victor Roque; The attacker will wear the number 19 shirt for Barcelona
Barcelona could postpone the presentation of striker Victor Roque, initially scheduled for this Wednesday (3). The player, who will wear the number 19 shirt, is still waiting for the release required by the regulations of the Spanish championship to be made official. According to the rules, Barça can only sign up if the entire squad falls within a certain amount on their pay slip.
According to Spanish Financial Fair Play, each team’s salary cap is the difference between the club’s income and expenses in professional football. Barcelona have had some relief with the long-term injury of midfielder Gavi, but this is still not enough to sign Vitor Roque for the season.
Barcelona, however, still believe they can turn the situation around by this Wednesday, just before the match with Barbastro, in the Copa del Rey. Previously, the club had already sold several other players to create financial relief in its payroll. From the start of the season until then, Griezmann, Piqué, Trincão, Jordi Alba, Nico González, Kessié, Dembélé, Sergiño Dest, Lenglet, Ansu Fati, Eric García and Ez Abde have left, generating savings of over 200 million of R $.
Barcelona have acquired Vitor Roque from Atletico Paranaense, for 40 million dollars (around R$210 million). The player thus becomes the club’s most expensive purchase in this transfer window, despite having been planned as early as mid-year.
