Palmeiras to Sign Titor Roque from Barcelona
Palmeiras have taken a significant step forward in their pursuit of Argentine striker Titor Roque, advancing in negotiations to secure an agreement for his transfer. The Brazilian club has reached a deal with Barcelona for a transfer fee of €25 million, along with a 20% sell-on clause, ensuring that the Spanish giants would benefit from any future resale of the player.
However, the move is not yet finalised, as there are still some obstacles to overcome, particularly regarding Real Betis. The La Liga side currently holds Roque on loan, and their agreement includes a purchase option, meaning they have the final say on whether the deal with Palmeiras can go through.
Betis are now evaluating their stance, as they await the green light to either exercise their option or allow the transfer to proceed.
Roque, who was impressed during his time in Spain, attracted interest from multiple clubs, but Palmeiras emerged as the frontrunner in securing his services. The Verdão see him as a key reinforcement to bolster their attack, especially with an eye on the Copa Libertadores and domestic competitions.
If Betis decide not to trigger their purchase option, Palmeiras will move swiftly to finalise personal terms with the player and complete the transfer.
The coming days will be crucial as all parties work towards a resolution, with Palmeiras hopeful that their persistence will pay off in securing one of South America’s most promising talents.
