Barca Star 'Makes Call' On Shock Switch To Saudi

Barca Star 'Makes Call' On Shock Switch To Saudi

A Barcelona star has reportedly made a decision on a potential move to Saudi Arabia.

One of Barcelona's brightest young talents has reportedly made a decision on making a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.

Earlier this month, it was reported that record Saudi champions Al Hilal are keen on recruiting Barca youngster Vitor Roque from Catalonia.

Much was made of the teenage sensation prior to his arrival at the LALIGA giants, given his form in Brazil with Club Athletico Paranaense.

The Timoteo native scored 28 goals and assisted 11 times in 81 appearances for the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A side before making the €40 million (R765 million) switch to the Blaugrana.

For all the hype that surrounded the 19-year-old's arrival in Spain, Roque is yet to make a major impression at the home of the Catalan giants, and it seems Barca are now open to letting him go.

According to Sport, the gulf juggernauts were keen on signing Roque on a loan deal, but Barca preferred a permanent switch with a transfer fee.

Now, the same publication has stated that the Blue Waves have returned to meet Barca's valuation of €40 million for Roque's services, and are willing to give the Brazil youth international a lucrative contract to go along with it, but he has rejected the move to Riyadh.

Per the same report, the young striker is eager to prove himself to new Barca head coach Hansi Flick. Other European clubs such as FC Porto and Lazio are also said to be keen on signing him but they only on loan.
