Vitor Roque tipped to succeed at Barcelona by La Liga winger: “Going to score many goals”

Speaking in an interview with MARCA, Girona winger Savinho has tipped fellow Brazilian Vitor Roque to succeed at Barcelona.

Savinho, 19, is enjoying a fine start to the 2023/24 season at Girona and has helped their ascent to second place in La Liga this term.

The Girona winger’s form has not gone unnoticed as Barcelona have taken an interest in him.

Savinho tips Roque, Endrick for success in Spain

A Brazilian gem, Savinho will soon be joined by two more jewels from his country in La Liga, with Vitor Roque and Endrick expected to arrive in Spain next year.

Barcelona signed Roque from Athletico Paranaense last summer and are working to bring him into the squad during the January transfer window.

As for Endrick, he signed for Real Madrid last year and will be moving to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2024, when he turns 18.

And, Savinho has claimed that the Brazilian teenage duo will be a success in Spain, as he said:

“They are two great players who are going to learn a lot, one for Barça, the other for Real Madrid, and they are going to score many goals, for sure.”

“I wouldn’t give them any advice, because they are two cracks. They are going to be my rivals. They are two great players. I even talk to the Girona players, when they ask me if they are both good: ‘You’ll see when they get here.'”

Vitor Roque’s registration the top priority for Barça

As mentioned earlier, Barcelona signed Roque from Athletico Paranaense during the summer transfer window.

The Catalans secured his services in a deal worth €30 million plus €31 million in variables. But his arrival was postponed until 2024 due to the club’s Financial Fair Play woes.

And even though the Blaugrana find themselves in the FFP muddle heading into the January window, they have made it a top priority to incorporate and register Roque at the turn of the year.

Xavi is pushing for the 18-year-old’s arrival at the earliest possible and the idea is that the Brazilian will be playing for Barcelona during the second half of the season if nothing goes wrong.
