According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, Everton and Bournemouth are interested in Barcelona’s Vitor Roque. The Toffees have worked harder for his services, as they have tabled an offer of 25 million euros plus three million euros in variable fees, while the Cherries are just keeping an eye on his situation.
Vitor Roque has been close to leaving Barcelona almost since his arrival. The timing of his signing was brought forward to spice up the schemes of Xavi Hernandez, who did not end up giving him a place in his lineups. He has been quite active during the pre-season, but the board still sees him as an interesting resource to widen their financial margins this summer.
That is why any offer for him will be heard in Joan Laporta’s offices. The most recent, according to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, is a proposal of 25 million euros plus three million euros in variables from Everton. The Catalans have rejected it because they want at least 30 million euros for his services.
In parallel to the Toffees, Bournemouth are also interested in the Brazilian. The Cherries have yet to shape the figure they think would convince the Spaniards, although the attempts of their Premier League rivals should give them some direction.
In an ideal scenario for Vitor Roque’s suitors in which Barcelona give the green light for his transfer, the player would have to think hard about which project he would best fit into.
