Barcelona are facing a threat from European giants in their pursuit of Vitor Roque, with Chelsea reportedly stepping up their efforts to sign the Brazilian ahead of the new season. With the growing competition for Roque in mind, Barcelona have decided to take action. It appears that club officials are set to travel to Curitiba to hold talks with Atlético Paranaense, seeking to discuss the possibility of a potential summer transfer – which will send the world into a tizzy. bet – sports betting.
The iGaming sector is always subject to the influence of news related to football and other sports, and bettors are always attentive to every possible movement of players and athletes. As one of the fastest growing segments in the world and in Brazil, there are more and more events focused on discussing the future of the industry. In Brazil, the Brazilian iGaming Summit (BiS) is the most prominent event, followed by Afiliados Latam – a affiliation event carried out jointly with BiS.
With less than 100 days to go until Afiliados Latam, which will take place on June 15, 16 and 17, both events will bring together experts and companies from the betting and affiliation sectors, including Pinnacle, one of the largest companies in the traditional sports and eSports betting industry.
Coming back to the news, Athletico-PR is certain that they will have to let go of Vitor Roque at the end of the season. But they are looking for the highest bid, which gives Chelsea and Arsenal a certain advantage.
However, Barcelona do have a major advantage in the form of Vitor Roque's approval. The youngster is determined to play for the Blaugrana and his father was in the city two weeks ago when he heard about the club's plans for the 18-year-old. And it seems the player himself wants to get the deal done as quickly as possible.

Either way, Barcelona's push to sign Vitor Roque in the face of additional competition is exactly the kind of conviction the club needs if they are to secure the services of the Brazilian genius. But it is also important to remain patient as the club continues to work out ways to avoid FFP sanctions while still signing the best players. The next few weeks could be crucial for the Catalans.
