Barcelona superstar guiding Vitor Roque in his first days at the club

After months of speculations over his January move, Vitor Roque is finally here and has even been included in the Barcelona squad in their upcoming game against Las Palmas.

Roque is expected to wear the number 19 shirt for Barcelona. However, his participation in the Las Palmas is dependent on his registration. La Liga’s FFP means they cannot register the player just yet.

Nevertheless, Vitor Roque is well and truly here, and the forward has had no shortage of guidance in his early days at Barcelona.

Raphinha guiding Vitor Roque

According to a report from SPORT, Raphinha has been guiding Vitor Roque closely in his early days in Catalonia so far.

As someone with no experience in European football, playing for a club like Barcelona can always be challenging.

Many South American talents have struggled in the past to live up to expectations of European football, especially at Barça.

Vitor Roque’s fellow compatriot Malcom is an excellent example. Roque, though, comes with a far greater reputation and weight on his shoulders, as he looks to make a mark in Catalonia.

The young forward has played tremendously well during his time at Athletico Paranaense. He even made his Brazil debut in March 2023.

Along with Endrick, Vitor Roque is regarded as one of the finest talents Brazilian football has produced in recent years.

The youngster, therefore, will have a key role to play for Barcelona as they look to make a solid recovery during the second half of the season.

The upcoming game against Las Palmas, therefore, could be a crucial one for the attacking starlet, as he looks to make a solid first impression.

Thanks to Raphinha’s guidance and company, Vitor Roque’s transition to the Barcelona senior side could become a tad easier.
