Everton are willing to explore a move for Vitor Roque, although any deal would be difficult due to the player’s preference, among other things.
According to Fichajes, Everton are eager to explore a deal to sign Vitor Roque this month or in the future. The Toffees are aware of the striker’s availability on a permanent transfer away from Barcelona, although his current side, Real Betis, may have the upper hand.
Vitor Roque’s agent created a lot of noise last season amid a lack of game time at Barcelona under Xavi Hernandez. The former Catalan boss barely selected the striker despite being highly rated before he joined the club in a big move.
However, the best possible solution for all parties concerned seemed like a temporary move away from Barcelona, as Roque joined Real Betis on a season-long loan deal. The agreement also consisted of a buy option, meaning the Seville-based side could have a big say on the direction of the highly-rated South American’s future.
The issue for Real Betis is the swiftness of their decision to sign Roque permanently, as Barcelona are already considering a sale, irrespective of whether they trigger the buy option. At the Seville-based side, in recent years they have first sold a player before making space for a new one, and that might still be the case come next summer with Roque.
With Premier League interest mounting in Roque, Real Betis might come under pressure, as Everton are the latest to enter the chase. The Toffees are about to enter a new era in their club’s history with the move to a new stadium, as they are hoping players like the highly-rated South American would grace with his prowess next season.
Everton keen to sign Vitor Rooque
Everton are set to face a shortage of strikers at the start of next season, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin could leave amid big interest, while Beto is also angling for a departure next summer. With their two recognised striker likely gone, there’s a clear need for replacements, as Roque is pencilled in to be one of them.
Everton must make a serious enough offer that at least trumps Real Betis’ buy option to have a chance to sign Roque. In any case, the player’s preference will also play a part, as he looks settled at Betis this season and might want to keep playing in La Liga, although one cannot rule out a future move to the Premier League.
