Earlier this week, Barcelona completed the signing of Vitor Roque from Athletico Paranaense. The 18-year-old, who will not join until 2024, has signed a seven-year contract at the LaLiga champions.
It means that two of Brazil’s most promising youngers (Roque and Endrick Felipe) will be heading to Spain’s big two next year, and understandably, comparisons have been drawn between the pair.
Andre Cury, who is a representative for Roque, believes that Barcelona have got the better deal, compared to Real Madrid for Endrick, as per Sport.
“If you ask me who has made a better hiring Barca or Madrid, it’s very clear. I have already said it in other interviews and I reiterate it again. In my opinion, Vitor is better than Endrick.
“Always in my life I try to be impartial, but I see Vitor Roque playing wearing the number nine for Brazil, for everything he does in every game with Athletico Paranaense.”
Irrespective of who is perceived to be better, both Barcelona and Real Madrid are sure to be absolutely delighted with their signings of Roque and Endrick respectively, and the pair are sure to be major players in El Clasico for many years to come.
