    La Liga: Roque's Departure To Betis Highlights Failure Of Barcelona Transfers

    By IANS News August 26, 2024 • 23:34 PM View: 823
    Athletic Club Bilbao: The departure of teenage Brazilian forward Vitor Roque on loan to Betis on Monday highlights the failure of FC Barcelona's dealings in the transfer market over the past 12 months. It also shows why the club presided over by Joan Laporta appears to have little coherent plan other than going 'low cost' when it comes to strengthening their first team squad.

    Roque arrived in the middle of last season as an apparent attempt by Barca to match Real Madrid's success with Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo, both of whom arrived young and developed into world-class players.

    Roque cost 30 million euros, but neither Xavi Hernandez, nor Hansi Flick counted on him for the first-team squad, and Barca's desperate financial conditions means they can't keep him as they need to free up his wages.
