Live on February 21, "World Sport" published a document today, talking about the future of Barca will rent Roque.
Roque's future is currently unknown, but with each passing day he seems closer to returning to Brazil. The 19-year-old Brazilian forward is on loan to Betis from Barca this season until June 30, but Palmeiras are very interested in signing him and have already made progress in negotiations with Barca.
It is reported that Palmeiras offered 25 million euros to buy 80% of Roque's ownership, which is in line with the buyout fee negotiated by Barca and Betis. Yesterday, Betis sporting director Fayado admitted that Barca had contacted them to talk about Roque. But neither Fayado nor Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini wanted to let Roque go. "I count on Roque," he said after the Ghent game. "I want him to stay."
Speaking ahead of the Ghent game, Fayado said: "Roque has a bright future and I hope he stays at Betis."
As for Roque himself, he doesn't want to be involved and is waiting for the clubs to negotiate on their own. Roque is happy and settling in well at Betis, but he is open to the prospect of returning home and playing in the Club World Cup. The Brazilian transfer window does not close for another week and the next few days could be crucial in determining Roque's future.
