Tottenham reportedly wants to sabotage Barcelona’s deal for Vitor Roque, and amid reports that Barcelona and Tottenham have reached an agreement, Vitor Roque’s representatives are in contact with Tottenham.
Tottenham is reportedly interested in Vitor Roque, according to a Mundo Deportivo report that Sport Witness relayed. The Barcelona target’s entourage has been in touch with the North London giants. However, the Catalan giants and Athletico Paranaense have already reached a deal worth €45 million.
Since joining Athletico Paranaense, Vitor Roque has grown to be one of the world’s most highly sought-after prospects. When the 18-year-old left Cruzeiro to join Athletico-PR, he was hardly well-known. But in the past 15 months, he has made great strides and even gained a position on his country’s team.
When Brazil won the South American Under-20 Championships, the international player from that country was also in excellent shape. Roque, meanwhile, has had a fantastic season so far, tallying 15 goals and 5 assists in 29 games. The young person will probably soon relocate to Europe, with Barcelona as a potential stop. Tottenham will attempt to influence him as well, though.
Numerous sources have consistently connected Barcelona with the teen star. And reports from a month ago stated Barcelona had signed a contract for Vitor Roque’s services worth €45 million. Furthermore, it makes sense that despite Robert Lewandowski’s presence in the locker room, people are still interested in the young striker.
The seasoned Polish striker is approaching the end of his illustrious career and is well into his 30s. Barcelona should therefore make an investment in a long-term replacement for Lewandowski. Furthermore, according to recent sources, the Catalan giants are finalizing the €45 million purchase. Tottenham will want to beat Barcelona to the 18-year-old, though.
The North London giants have spoken with Vitor Roque’s crew, the newspaper claims. They also want to prevent Barcelona from signing the Brazilian sensation. The suspense is understandable given the issues surrounding Harry Kane. The teenager is reportedly interested on signing with Barcelona.
Recent rumors have also linked him to Manchester United. It will be interesting to see if Vitor Roque can be persuaded otherwise by Tottenham and the Red Devils. The struggle to sign the 18-year-old wonderkid is presently most likely to result in his transfer to Barcelona.
