Football/Vitor Roque will be in FC Barcelona in January

He is already eagerly anticipated by FC Barcelona supporters and the club’s management. Although he has yet to play in the colors of Barça, many believe that Vitor Roque will bring a breath of fresh air to a Catalan team that has been lacking inspiration for several weeks in the league.

Currently in fourth place in La Liga and facing Napoli in the Round of 16 in the Champions League, the Blaugrana will undoubtedly need new weapons to elevate their performance in 2024.

Originally set to join Catalonia next summer, recent performances by the team have prompted the club’s leaders to call on the Brazilian forward earlier. As a result, after spending Christmas in Brazil, the Timoteo native will be joining Barcelona on August 27th.

While he is set to have his first training session with FC Barcelona on Friday, the 18-year-old striker appeared in his new colors this Monday. The Catalan club notably showcased him on their Instagram account.

El Tigrinho was presented with Mariah Carey’s Christmas song « All I want for Christmas is you » Given Barcelona’s recent performances, there’s no doubt that this song must be resonating in the minds of Catalan supporters at the sight of Vitor Roque. The good news is that their gift will be unveiled on January 3rd, just before the match against Las Palmas in La Liga.
