Barcelona have managed to secure Vitor Roque's services. Athletico Paranaense's board visited Barcelona to negotiate the transfer of their star player on Saturday and, according to 'Mundo Deportivo', both parties reached an agreement on Sunday.
The two clubs have reached a pre-agreement for the Brazilian to play in a Barca shirt until 2028. The same media outlet reports that the Spanish side will pay 35 million euros for his transfer and will make the payment over three years.
Xavi Hernandez's side have included a buyout clause of 1 billion euros to prevent another club from trying to sign him. They have done everything possible to keep him at Camp Nou for the next five years.
Athletico Paranaense CEO Alexandre Mattos will return to Brazil after closing the pre-agreement and the striker's transfer is expected to be made official in the next few days.
