While the Brazilian came into the side with a lot of expectations placed on him, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/what-next-for-vitor-roque-barcelona-plans-revealed/blt1dcb545d10789152#cs7af67c840428b470" target="_blank">he failed to break into Xavi Hernandez's team</a> and was restricted to only 14 appearances with two starts last season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

With the departure of Xavi, it seemed that Vitor Roque may stay at the club and try to impress Hansi Flick. However, according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-quiere-40-millones-vitor-106099344" target="_blank">Sport</a>, Al-Hilal and Barcelona have opened talks over a move for the 19-year-old with the Saudi Pro League side wanting the striker on a loan deal with a mandatory buy option for next summer. However, the Catalan side prefers a full transfer for the Brazilian and will demand a fee of around €40 million (£33.8m/$43.3m).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Al-Hilal only shifted their focus towards Vitor Roque after they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/raphinha-transfer-fee-barcelona-sell-brazilian-winger-revealed/bltf56dcdff68a737c8#cs4e8b53166577f8c0" target="_blank">failed to entice Raphinha to leave Barcelona this summer</a> despite having made a reported bid of €65 million (£54.9m/$70.6m). Barcelona have also reportedly received interest for the Brazilian from Al-Nassr, who are set to offer a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-willing-pay-record-breaking-price-barcelona-raphinha/blt6b96316cab12e549#cs26251bd5b13e75e5" target="_blank">Saudi Pro League record fee of €100 million (£84.5m/$108.7m)</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Vitor Roque is set to turn down Al-Hilal's approach, according to Romano. However, a summer exit still looks to be on the cards for the young Brazilian, particularly if Barcelona manage to land top target Nico Williams from Athletic Club.
