FC Barcelona has closed the sale of Vitor Roque to Palmeiras, but the financial balance of the operation leaves a negative result for the Catalan club. After having invested a fixed 30 million euros in his signing last summer, the blaugranas have only received 25 million euros guaranteed in this new transaction. It is still pending to determine whether the Brazilian team will pay the additional 5 million in variables, which will define if the financial loss remains or is reduced.

Barça made a strong bet on the forward when they acquired him from Athletico Paranaense, including a series of additional clauses that would have raised the total cost to 61 million euros. However, the conditions to trigger those payments were never met, preventing a larger outlay but also reducing the profit margin in his subsequent sale.

The transfer to Palmeiras includes a similar payment structure, with an initial guaranteed amount and a variable part subject to certain individual and collective achievements. Reportedly, the blaugrana club will only see that extra money if Roque excels in international competitions, earning recognitions such as being among the top three players at the Club World Cup, winning a Ballon d'Or, or achieving an international title with his new team.

Vitor Roque fell short in Spanish football

On a sporting level, the Brazilian forward has had an inconsistent performance. During his time at Betis, where he was on loan, he played 33 games across all competitions, accumulating over 1,700 minutes on the field. His offensive figures include seven goals and two assists, although his performance was marked by ups and downs and a red card in the Conference League against Gent.

Roque's departure allows Barça to adjust its financial balance, freeing up his spot and closing a chapter that did not have the expected outcome. Now, the young forward will seek to relaunch his career in his home country, while the Catalan club continues planning its moves for the next transfer window.
