Brazilian national team forward Vitor Roque arrived in Barcelona this morning with his family, as announced by the club's official account in Catalan. The Catalans showcased the initial footage of Roque in his new city.
In the coming days, the young Brazilian will undergo a medical examination, and the club plans to present him early next month. After the team returns from vacation, Vitor Roque will commence training with his new teammates.
To celebrate Roque's arrival, Barcelona released a captivating video featuring a tiger strolling across the pitch at the Montjuïc stadium, where the Blaugrana play their home matches this season. The reason behind this is that Roque's nickname is El Tigrinho.
Recall that Barcelona acquired Roque from Atletico Paranaense for €40 million in the summer, with the understanding that he would join the new club in January. In the recently concluded Brazilian league season, Roque scored 12 goals and provided 3 assists in 25 matches. He also contributed 4 goals and 1 assist in 8 Copa Libertadores games.
