His performances a few months after arriving at Barcelona did not fully convince new boss Xavi. However.

Oporto

Very interested in taking Roque on loan with an option to buy for next season.

Porto's current sporting director is Subizarreta, who played for Barcelona as a player and was the club's sporting director. As he knows Barcelona very well, he sees Roque as one of the options that could complement the squad.

The two sides could also discuss the possibility of a player swap, considering that Barcelona are also interested in Porto winger Pepe. Pepe is under contract until 2027 and has a release fee of €75 million, which is a huge fee for Barcelona who are currently in a poor financial situation. However, this fee is expected to be reduced if Roque is involved in the deal.

Roque has not gotten the expected playing time since joining Barcelona. If he leaves the team, Barcelona prefers to deal with him on loan. The club's management plans to meet with Roque's agent to determine his future. Considering that Porto has always been an ideal place to help young players grow, going there is also an option for Roque.
