The arrival of Hansi Flick gave new life to FC Barcelona. And without a doubt he has impacted Vitor Roque’s life at the club. The youngster had one foot outside with Xavi and now with the German coach he gains consideration to stay in the first team and fight from there for a place.

Beyond this desire, the club still has to work to avoid breaking Financial Fair Play. Vitor Roque was able to be registered in January, despite the fact that the institution had exceeded its salary bill, due to an exception in the regulations that allowed him to replace Gavi, who was seriously injured.
That exception no longer exists, so once again it will be the sales that the club can make that will determine the room for maneuver. Especially because, beyond looking for potential in the current squad, Flick wants to make important additions, with Joshua Kimmich and Nico Williams as possible targets.
