OFFICIAL: Vitor Roque completes loan move to Real Betis

Barcelona forward Vitor Roque has been loaned to Spanish side Real Betis after a disastrous long eight months with the Catalan giants. Betis has agreed to pay the forward’s full salary and has the option to extend his loan for a second year.

Betis also have the option to land Roque on a permanent transfer next summer and announced his transfer with a comical nod.

Since his arrival in January 2024, Roque has struggled for minutes and was limited to only 16 appearances last season mostly as a substitute. The 19-year-old was omitted from the season’s first-team squad and his shirt number was handed to Lamine Yamal.
