Manchester United offers €50M for Barça's black sheep! Deco didn't see it coming

Historically, the relationship between Manchester United and FC Barcelona has always been very good. Over the decades, both clubs have shared interests, players, and deals that left a mark. The most memorable case is that of Gerard Piqué, who took his first steps at Old Trafford before returning to Camp Nou, where he established himself as a legend of Barcelona fandom.

This very summer, another move strengthened that connection between both European soccer giants. Rashford crossed the same air bridge that Piqué once traveled, landing in the Catalan city to reinforce the Barça attack. Hansi Flick requested this signing, and it has been a golden opportunity to revitalize the team's offense.

However, beyond the transfers mentioned, a deal is currently being developed that could mark a turning point. According to several sources, Manchester United is willing to pay €50 million (50 million euros) to secure the services of Vitor Roque, Barça's latest major discard. This news will undoubtedly make Deco very happy.

Vitor Roque, protagonist

Deco was one of the main supporters of Vitor Roque's arrival at Camp Nou. He bet on his talent when he was shining in Brazil, assuring that he was a striker destined to define an era. But things didn't turn out as desired: the lack of trust and the club's context ended up dooming his time as a Barça player.

Vitor Roque barely enjoyed any minutes during his time at Camp Nou. He arrived with the label of "the new Ronaldo" and left as an unfinished project, without real opportunities to show his worth. Neither Xavi Hernández at first, nor Hansi Flick later, found the right moment or context to consistently bet on him.

Faced with that situation, the young striker decided to return to Brazil, where he has regained his best form. In just a few months, he has become the main figure at Palmeiras, racking up goals, assists, and a level of confidence that has caught the attention of major European teams. In particular, his resurgence hasn't gone unnoticed by Manchester United.

Vitor Roque and Manchester United, a reason for joy for Deco

This is where Deco comes into play, who, despite the criticism he received for his management, made a strategic move that could benefit Barça today. When finalizing his departure, the Barça sporting director kept 20% of Vitor Roque's economic rights. This maneuver could now translate into an unexpected income of €10 million (10 million euros) if Manchester United pays 50.

From Camp Nou offices, the news has been received with caution, but also with optimism. Meanwhile, in Manchester, the technical reports on Vitor Roque are more than positive. If the transfer is finalized at the €50 million (50 million euros) rumored, everyone will benefit.
