Across the world of football, various talents continue to show their mettle, and clubs like FC Barcelona and other European elites continue to keep their eyes focused on such emerging youngsters.
Yet in the case of Barcelona and one such player in particular, the Catalan outfit has already reportedly agreed the transfer of the youngster in question as he continues to light up his own continent of South America with his prodigious displays of talent and scoring ability.
The player in question is none other than Brazilian prodigy and Athletico Paranaense striker Vitor Roque who, as SPORT have highlighted in their recent report, continues to showcase his knack for scoring goals in various competitions within the continent.
The most recent display of this ability has presented itself in the latest game played by Athletico Paranaense against Alianza Lima in the Copa Libertadores, from which Vitor Roque and his side ended up coming out as 3-0 victors, with 2 of those 3 goals having come courtesy of the Brazilian prodigy.
Including this showcase against Alianza Lima, the 18-year-old center-forward has now scored in 4 games in a row while simultaneously enjoying arguably the best scoring period of his relatively young career, having scored a total of 20 goals already for both club and country in the ongoing season across all competitions.
This latest victory for ‘Tigrinho’ and company sees Athletico Paranaense top group G of the Copa Libertadores as they head into the round of 16 alongside 2nd placed side Atletico Mineiro.
With an agreement reportedly in place for Vitor Roque between Barcelona and current side Athletico Paranaense for €35 million fixed alongside €10 million in add-ons approximately, the Catalan club should rest assured that they are set to possibly sign one of the very best that South America currently has to offer.
