Barcelona look to sell Roque despite legal issues with La Liga.
February 25, 2025
The battle between Barcelona and La Liga seems not to be ending, as a new legal case surfaced following yesterday’s report on the transfer of Vitor Roque to Palmeiras.
The Brazilian club, which has been in operation for the past week, received a massive blow as it was reported yesterday that La Liga had halted the transfer of the Brazilian forgotten superstar due to legal issues.
According to journalist Joaquim Piera (@joaquimpiera), Palmeiras called off negotiations with Barça and Real Betis for the youngster when La Liga halted the deal.
The Brazilian club, which already had a favourable agreement with both Spanish clubs, immediately cut off the deal with the Brazilian league transfer market, closing on Friday, February 28th.
Journalist Joaquim Piera gave an update on the legal issues highlighted by La Liga on the loan status of Vitor Roque and the closure of the Spanish transfer window.
Vitor Roque cannot return to Barcelona after the close of the January transfer window, and Real Betis cannot loan him to Palmeiras for the same reason.
In response, the Spanish club is pushing to sell off the Brazilian player permanently for €25 million while holding some percentage from future sales.
The Spanish club want to get the deal done before the end of the Brazilian transfer window on February 28th and are preparing for another legal battle against La Liga and the RFEF.
Journalists Roger Torello and Fernando Polo also reported that Barcelona are looking to explore a FIFA loophole to make the Roque deal successful.
In the club’s defense, a FIFA precedent, specifically the ‘Pedro Lima Case’ and the ‘technical transfer’ rule, will be used to argue that the deal is legal and should be allowed to pass through successfully.
In this case, UEFA and FIFA will have the final say on whether the deal can be completed.
Barcelona needs this deal to be successful, as it can be helpful financially for the club, which will look to secure the renewals of Iñigo Martínez and Lamine Yamal before the summer of 2025.
