Roque, 18, attracted interest from some of Europe's biggest side's following his breakthrough campaign with Paranaense, but ultimately it is the Blaugrana who came out on top in the race for the Timoteo native.
Since leaving Cruzeiro in April 2022, the Brazil international found the back of the net 22 times while also bagging nine assists in the 66 matches for Athletico Paranaense.
