The La Liga club is sending executives and the club's icon to Barcelona to discuss the Vitor Roque deal
Barcelona ahead Victor Roque He appears to be out of the club this summer, with the Blaugrana trying to clear space in their salary cap, and the €30m Brazilian is not part of Hansi Flick's plans. Getting back the money they paid for him could be a struggle though.
Roque, 19 years old, knows that he will not play if he continues at Barcelona, and Marco they say that's why they're convinced he'll agree to an exit deal at some point. The Deco Sports Director is currently in Lisbon to discuss terms with Sporting CP.
Bournemouth and Everton have made inquiries about him in recent weeks, but Roque wants to stay in Spain if possible. This is where Real Betis comes into the equation. The same source insists Real Betis will send their executives to Barcelona on Monday to discuss a deal for Roque, despite Deco not being there.

That trip is at the request of Manuel Pellegrini, who is preparing for the Brazilian. Betis are currently in negotiations for Youssoufa Moukoko from Borussia Dortmund, but will offer a loan with an option to buy to Barcelona, and a fee for a percentage of his rights. Sports director Manu Fajardo, CEO Ramon Alarcon and ambassador Joaquin Sanchez are expected to try to strike a deal.
This seems unlikely to be accepted by Barcelona, especially if the figures that are discussed with Sporting they are accurate. The Catalan giants are desperate to get some cash to free up space in their salary cap, with star signing Dani Olmo yet to be registered. Roque is seen as one of the key sources moving forward on that front.
