Barcelona are confident that they will be able to sign Vitor Roque, who is on the radar of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal as well, according to Sport.
Barcelona confident of signing Arsenal target Vitor Roque
Sport have reported this morning that Barcelona are very optimistic that they will be able to secure the services of Arsenal target Vitor Roque in the summer transfer window.
The former La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners believe that the Brazilian forward will force a move to Camp Nou if he has to, as he wants to join only them.
Barcelona have financial issues, but they are working to get that sorted and are confident of still being able to bring the teenager to Camp Nou.
According to to an earlier report in Sport, Arsenal want to sign the 18-year-old forward, but the Brazilian youngster wants to move to Barcelona.
Blow for Arsenal
In our view, Vitor Roque choosing Barcelona over Arsenal could be a blow for the Gunners in the long term.
True, Arsenal do not need the forward right now, but the Athletico Paranaense talent is hugely promising and could be a star in European football in the coming years.
We know how well Arsenal grow and develop their young players, and Vitor Roque could have been huge for the Gunners in years to come.
