Barcelona worried about the ramifications of Vitor Roque's unfortunate start at Real Betis

During the summer, Vitor Roque was discarded by Barcelona. A permanent transfer had been sought, but in the end, the teenage striker ended up joining Real Betis on a season-long loan.

Expectations were high for Roque, but so far, things haven't gone to plan. He has only managed a solitary goal (vs Leganes) in his six appearances to date, and the expectation is that he will be left out for Sunday's El Gran Derbi against Sevilla.

Ace for SportBarcelona are worried about Roque's poor form, as well as the ramifications of this if he were to continue. Club officials see the time of the Brazilian international at the Benito Villamarin for him to be reevaluated, which could allow a sale in 2025 or 2026. However, it is not shown enough at this stage for this.

Patience is key with Roque. It's a long season, and he has a lot of time to get in shape. However, Barcelona will hope that happens sooner rather than later, and Betis will think the same.
