The Brazilian maestro, who came to the Catalan club not only to create history, but also projected a La Masia youngster to become one of the legends of the club, Lionel Messi.

He became an integral member of the historic trident of Messi-Suarez-Neymar as the troika would always stay in the hearts of Barca fans.
To add to the legacy of Neymar and Ronaldinho, a youngster who has wreaked havoc among the ranks of Brazilian heavyweights Atletico Paranaense, Vitor Roque, is all set to add the Blaugrana colors to his career, which has the potential to outbid his predecessors.

His transfer has involved a whopping 74 million euros, with his first training session slated for a December 29 inauguration. After his initial plan of staying at his home country till mid-2024, a late twist in the form of Gavi’s injury and the flexibility of La Liga’s financial fair play has made things possible for the Brazilian attacker to join the ranks of Barca.
With 21 goals in 45 fixtures for Atletico Paranaense, Roque is indeed considered to be one of the upcoming stars for the Selecao, as he wishes to succeed a throng of legendary stars ahead of him, with several of them playing in La Liga like Vinicius and Rodrygo.
He was signed from Cruzeiro with a mere 24 million dollars, and went on to become one of the legendary names for the “Furacao”. Nicknamed Tigrinho, owing to his exceptional skills of goalscoring precision, Roque has a series of events lined up for him at the club, with his initial training season slated to be on 29th January, and official presentation exclusively on 3rd January, 2024.
