Sports News] La Liga team Barcelona have officially announced the signing of
forward Vitor Roque for a total transfer fee of 61 million euros. This news
quickly sparked discussions in the media. Subsequently, some media outlets
discovered that Roque is a devoted fan of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo. It
has been reported that Roque follows Ronaldo and his club, Riyadh Victory, on
social media platforms. In previous interviews with the media, he openly
expressed his admiration for Ronaldo, showcasing his loyalty as a fan. Roque,
who is only 18 years old, has gained prominence at a young age and is
recognized as one of Brazil’s emerging talented players. In the 2023 season, he
exhibited impressive scoring prowess by netting 21 goals with great efficiency.
The editor believes that Roque’s arrival is well-timed, as Barcelona coach Xavi
is presently in need of a reliable scoring option. While Robert Lewandowski has
scored nine goals for Barcelona this season, his scoring efficiency has
declined. Roque is expected to be a valuable partner and assist Lewandowski in
the team’s attacking efforts.
