Athletic cheering shodo and one of the most valued players in Brazil, the attacker Vitor Roque follows in the sights of the big European clubs. At the age of 17, Vitor holds the Brazilian national team in the South American Sub-20, with three goals scored. And as much as there is internal certainty that the player will be traded soon, the Hurricane board does not intend to give a millimeter to proposals that will come.
At an event sponsored by an Athletic sponsor, football director Luiz Felipe Scolari admitted that Vitor Roque should not stay long in Baixada. "Vitor will probably be sold. When he shows up with enough money, I think he sells it," said Felipão. The former coach quoted Hurricane's financial profile, which was always a negotiating club.
But as the director himself said, You'll have to show up with "a lot of money". Hired by Cruise by 24 million reais, at the beginning of 2022, Vitor Roque has a fine of EUR 100 million (R$ 554 mi), but Athletico works with a transaction of at least EUR 40 million (R)$ 221 mi).

European club polls by Vitor Roque are insistent, but they do not surprise Athletico or change the board's plans. According to the newspaper Sports World, from Spain, a proposal of EUR 35 million from the Barcelona was denied by the president of Hurricane, Mário Celso Petraglia.
