The Brazilian striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/vitor-roque-cant-arrive-soon-enough-barcelona-brazilian-misfiring/bltc4b12ca1a1b3cff9" target="_blank">made a sensational move to the Catalan side from Athletico Paranaense</a> in the winter transfer window for a reported fee of €30 million (£26m/$32m). Recent reports have suggested that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/what-next-for-vitor-roque-barcelona-plans-revealed/blt1dcb545d10789152#cseeedd7a27d2ed1f2" target="_blank">the club are looking to loan out the 19-year-old this summer</a> as staying at the club would hinder his development due to a lack of playing time, something which has been an issue since his arrival.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After his move, the Brazilian made it directly into Xavi's squad as a regular substitute and also scored two goals in his first four matches for the club. However game time has been hard to come by in reent weeks and the forward has not played in any of Barca's last six game. His lack of game time has triggered his agent Andre Cury who has slammed the club's treatment of the youngster.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to Catalan radio RAC1, Cury said: "Everyone thinks that Vitor Roque has to have more minutes and no one understands why the coach doesn't give them to him"Xavi has never spoken to the player. I do not understand this situation and I think it is not good for either party. I have told the boy that what he has to do is work even harder and wait for the opportunity."In Barcelona there is a lot of press that talks nonsense, gives bad figures and says things that are not true. All this does not help. Look what has happened with Vinicius at Real Madrid. It has taken two seasons and a half to play and he's there. Here in Barcelona, in two months a mess is already created and people want to kill instead of help."The boy has a contract with Barca. If we chose Barca, because we had other options to pay double, it is because we wanted to play for Barca. We are going to show and I am certain that Vitor is going to be a great player, but if Barca won't let him... The club, the coach or I don't know what's happening internally, we'll have to look for another way."If the club does not give space to Vitor, unfortunately, we will have to talk to the club to find a solution. A loan for a young boy ends up harming him because he goes to another club that does not own him and has no interest in taking care of him. This is very dangerous for the boy's career."The best thing is to stay at Barca, but if he can't stay we will work to get him to leave permanently. But I and the player chose to come to Barca for less than half the price. offers from other clubs. We are happy at Barca and we want to continue. If it is not possible, we will sit down with the president and with Deco to find a good solution for all parties."

WHAT CURY SAID

The Brazilian will be hoping to feature in Barcelona's final games of the season but his future after that remains unclear. With his agent clear he's not interested in a loan, a summer sale certainly can't be ruled out.
