Barcelona's Sporting Director, Deco, said earlier this week that they will see if he is a new signing Victor Roque He blames the conditions in his transfer agreement from Atletico Paranaense, which sees the cost of his deal increase from 30 million to 61 million euros. However, it seems very likely that they will end up paying close to the full fee for the Brazilian.
Until then Barcelona they only paid 5 million euros for Roque, and they will continue to do so every summer until they reach 30 million euros. However, it turns out that 25 million euros of the variables are closed in appearance. MD report that if Roque plays more than half of the games in a season, then Athletico PR will be owed an extra 5 million euros for five seasons. The rest of 6 million euros come from bonuses; €5 million is tied to appearing in the third FIFA Best final, and €1 million is tied to winning the Ballon d'Or.
While it is not expected that he will immediately replace Robert Lewandowski, but in the end he was recruited as his number nine of the future. If he did not play more than half of the games in a season over the seven years of his deal at least five times, it will mean either that he was sold, or the deal did not work.
