The representative of Athletico Paranaense starlet Vitor Roque has, on Friday, revealed his hope that his client will soon take his talents to Spain, to line out for Barcelona.
For those not aware, attacker Roque is widely considered to be one of the finest up-and-coming talents in his home country of Brazil.
This comes with the frontman, since being snapped up by the aforementioned Athletico last summer, having gone on to enjoy a fruitful first year at the Arena da Baixada.
Despite having only turned 18 back in February, Roque has already established himself as a first-team regular, boasting a fine record of eight direct goal contributions in 14 appearances thus far this term.
Such impressive form has translated to the international stage, too, with the former Cruzeiro talent having already been afforded his full Brazil bow, after finding the net eight times in eleven outings at U20 level.

In turn, recent reports, confirming mounting interest in Roque’s services from clubs across Europe, have come as little surprise.
Speaking to Catalan outlet RAC1 on Friday, the subject of a potential move to the Camp Nou was therefore put to André Cury, Roque’s agent.
And Cury was not shy in admitting that, owing to his fine relationship with the club, he has long been pushing Roque towards Barcelona:

“If Barça signs him, they’ve 100% made a top deal. His value will increase a lot and he’ll then be worth 5 times more”, told RAC1. pic.twitter.com/KrYX1BJK29
