Vitor Roque isn’t playing by the usual rules. The young forward from Barcelona has decided not to sign a “fear clause” as he prepares to join Real Betis on loan.
This clause would’ve stopped him from playing against his own team, but Roque’s refusal means we might just see him lining up against Barcelona soon, sporting the green and white of Betis.

Here’s the deal: Barcelona plans to loan Roque to Betis for two seasons, with an interesting option included. Betis can buy 80% of his economic rights for €25 million. If they don’t buy him after the first season, Barcelona can take him back for free. And if Betis opts to purchase him in the second year, Barcelona would need to shell out €27.5 million to get him back.
Considering Roque’s track record at Barcelona—16 games and just two goals—this loan could be his chance to really show what he’s capable of. The football world is all eyes to see how this move plays out, especially with his potential face-offs against Barcelona.
It’s a setup that promises some intriguing matches ahead!
