The full financial package involved in Vitor Roque's move from Barcelona to Palmeiras has been revealed.
Signed in the summer of 2023 for an initial 30m (�24.8m), Roque moved to Barcelona in January 2024 but struggled horribly for minutes and ultimately left to join Real Betis on loan in the summer. Palmeiras pushed for a permanent transfer, however, and an agreement was eventually reached between all parties to send Roque to the Brazilian side.
According to MARCA, Barcelona will pocket an immediate 25m (�20.6m), with a further 5m (�4.1m) in achievable add-ons.
Among the bonuses are a fee if Roque is among the top three players at a World Cup and a payment if the striker plays at least 60% of the minutes in a Copa Libertadores-winning campaign. Other add-ons relate to the general success of Palmeiras during Roque's time at the club.
There could also be further payment down the line as Barcelona have retained a 20% sell-on clause for Roque's next move.
It means the deal has the potential to be worth more than the 30m Barcelona paid to sign Roque back in 2023.
Barcelona's initial deal to sign Roque included a further 31m in add-ons but the report stresses those bonuses were not triggered, leaving Barcelona's expense at the up-front 30m fee.
