With no chance at any titles this season, Barcelona is already planning for the next one. One issue they're dealing with is Vitor Roque, whom they've decided to loan out to another team. This move aims to free up salary space, allowing them flexibility in the transfer market, with big targets like Joshua Kimmich, Bernardo Silva, and Nico Williams in mind.

Barcelona sees this loan, without a buy option, as a way to keep control over the young Brazilian prospect while making financial room. However, Roque's camp is reluctant, insisting on a permanent transfer.

In his first season, Roque has only made 11 appearances, scoring twice with no assists and a red card to his name. What lies ahead for this unfulfilled promise at FC Barcelona?
