Keep or sell – What should Barcelona do with Vitor Roque? Al-hilal Waiting to get this One !

We all know FC Barcelona have always facing financial challenges and now faced significant financial challenges since joan Laporta resumed hhis presidency, yet the club has been managed to execute several high profile signings.

Entire this story among this was the acquisition of vitor roque last summer a move that was generated considerable excitement given the brazilian’s impressive performances in the brasileiro. 

To be very honest with the start of the new season in sight Bbarcelona are in a difficult position. Now roque might potentially fill the vacuum left by the team’s lack of natural strikers. So the club’s financial difficulties and the stringent financial fair play rules hhowever present formidable obstacles. In my mind that barça want to sign dani olmo and nico williams. 

In any case selling the former athletico paranense prospect it would significantly deplete barcelona’s options specially in the front line annd it calls for a reevaluation of their priorities I think. By trading him for an attacking midfielder like Dani Olmo, a profile already well represented in the squad would be short sighted I am sure . 

Moreover selling roque after giving him minimal playing ttime sends the wrong message to aspiring youngsters. If the club shows a lack of trust in their own investments it undermines their appeal as a destination for emerging talents.

As such retaining roque is a far more sensible route at this point in time. But again even if his sale is to materialize the. barcelona must ensure the funds from his departure are used sensibly so cases like these do not repeat and blemish the club’s reputation. Let's check from official sources : 

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting a sale to the Saudis could now be on.

He is stating: "Al Hilal have approached Barça for Vitor Roque, as Saudi media report — he’s on club shortlist for this summer.

"Vitor Roque and his camp have to decide what they want to do as Barcelona could be open to selling Roque.

"It could be key step for FFP but depends on Vitor
