The summer transfer market is almost over and FC Barcelona has still not made the necessary exits to be able to sign its reinforcements. For this reason, the sporting director of the Catalan club, Deco, is trying to speed up the sale of one of the most highly regarded players in the Catalan squad: the Brazilian striker, Vitor Roque.
Wanted by teams in the Premier League, La Liga and more recently in Portugal, the player still does not see a clear exit on loan, so Barça are looking for options to sell him to the highest bidder and, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano and the Spanish press, the offer from Sporting CP would be the best positioned.

Sporting and Betis, the most realistic options for Vitor Roque
According to Diario Marca , Vitor Roque is beginning to seriously consider the sporting offer made to him by Sporting Club de Portugal, a Lisbon team that would be willing to bet a good sum for his services, which would be more than enough to satisfy Barça as well.
The Catalan club hope to receive at least 30 million euros to be able to amortize the signing of the Brazilian, a figure that Sporting CP would be willing to pay, including fixed and variable costs.
On a sporting level, Sporting would offer him what Barça would not: playing time to develop in the European elite. For this reason, the Catalan club trusts that Roque will give in and accept the Lisbon offer.
If this does not materialise, another option appears on the plate: Real Betis would be interested in loaning him out with an option to buy a percentage of the rights of the Brazilian footballer. This Monday, according to reports in the Madrid press, Barça would travel to Seville to negotiate this possible exit.
