The current climate of the transfer market has been nothing short of brutal, with Barcelona being well aware of these ongoing movements all around Europe and the rest of the world.
Huge transfer deals and massive interest in top emerging talents remain constant, and the Catalans hope to compete in whatever limitations that they can.
In their most recent encounter with a future prospect, Barcelona were well aligned to sign a certain Turkish prodigy before eventually losing out on his signing due to their financial inability to match improved offers.
Now, the Catalans may be faced with yet another possible scenario of losing out on a well-renowned youngster who many believe can be a future world reference.
According to the latest information provided by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have been given a time limit to submit all required documentation by Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense, the current club of Barca target Vitor Roque.
Despite having come to a pre-agreement with both club and player, Athletico Paranaense are now beginning to get impatient with Barcelona and their slow procedure to get this signing over the line.
With incoming interest from other sides such as Manchester United, Paris Saint-German, and Tottenham Hotspur lurking right around the corner, with better financial packages for both club and player, the Brazilian side wants Barca to show urgency.
Reportedly, Barcelona have been provided a time duration of between 24-48 hours to submit the required documentation to make the signing official and seal it up once and for all.
Following this news, it will be interesting to see how quickly Barcelona are able to comply and ensure that another “Arda Guler situation” does not end up becoming a reality, this time with a prodigious South American talent.
