Barcelona financial staff guarantee that Vitor Roque will be registered in January

After a very busy summer transfer window, there was plenty of chatter around Barcelona regarding Vitor Roque arriving earlier than scheduled.

The Brazilian marksman is set to join the club in January 2024 in a highly-anticipated move, as he is touted to be one of the club’s most electric attackers in the future.

Due to his recent injury, which has probably seen him play his last game for Athletico Paranaense, there was chatter once again about the striker joining in with the team earlier.

However, those rumours have been shut down and he will still be arriving in Jan as initially planned, which is for the best as Barcelona have enough injury issues to deal with already.

Xavi and Deco are assured he will be able to play

Due to Barcelona’s recent financial struggles, registering players has been almost a tad more difficult than signing them.

Having sat beyond the Financial Fair Play limits, Barcelona still did not fit in with La Liga’s salary cap, which means that Roque’s arrival brings as much anxiety as it does excitement.

However, according to reports from Xavi Campos in the program Tot costa, Barcelona’s financial team have assured the manager and sporting director Deco that there will be no issues with his registration.

By then, the club will hope to have qualified for the knockout stage of the Champions League, which will mean a significant boost in eventual revenue and will go a long way in balancing the books a bit more.

There were reports last week, that Deco was even due to fly out to check on Roque’s physical condition, as the Paranaense staff have currently opted for conservative treatment for the youngster as opposed to surgery.

While Barcelona initially agree with the plan of action, they cannot take any risk given how many injuries the first team have grappled with.
