Following discussions between Deco, the sporting director of Barcelona, and Andre Cury, the agent of Vitor Roque, it appears that Barcelona has made the decision to not sell Vitor Roque this summer.
Instead, they are seeking a loan deal to keep the young talent in Spain to facilitate his development within familiar surroundings.
However, reports from Bar Canaletes suggest that Bournemouth, being on the brink of signing Julian Araujo, is contemplating a move for Roque as well.
The English club is keen on securing a loan deal with an option to buy, especially after the recent departure of their star striker, Dominic Solanke, to Tottenham Hotspur.
Barcelona might be open to such a deal, as long as the purchase option surpasses the amount they paid to Athletic Paranaense last summer.
However, a potential stumbling block for Bournemouth is that Roque and his agent might not be enthusiastic about the move, as they would prefer joining another La Liga club.
