A major update on the future of Barcelona starlet Vitor Roque has come to the fore in the early hours of Tuesday

The info comes courtesy of Portuguese outlet A Bola, and points towards Roque closing on an imminent departure from Catalunya’s capital.

Amid what has proven a difficult start to life for the 19-year-old since his January arrival at Barcelona, a whole host of clubs from across Europe are understood to have set their sights on Roque, with a view to the summer.

The Barca brass, meanwhile, are viewed as increasingly open to sanctioning a deal, be it either a season-long loan, or a permanent one in which they would recoup the majority of the fee splashed out on their struggling striker

All of this taken into consideration, a move which could yet prove a fruitful one for all parties involved has been floated in the media.

As per the aforementioned A Bola, the transfer in question would see Roque make his way to Portuguese giants Porto.

Early contacts have already been initiated between the two clubs, with Barcelona, it is claimed, ‘offering’ up their winter addition
