Barcelona’s Dilemma: Gavi’s Injury Opens Door for Vitor Roque Registration Amidst Financial Fair Play Hurdles

Recent reports suggest that Barcelona has received the green light to register Vitor Roque, taking advantage of Gavi’s unfortunate ACL injury. However, the club, keen on ensuring all formalities are in order, is contemplating whether to go for a midfielder or stick with the Brazilian striker.

Additional sources indicate that La Liga is considering allowing Barcelona to provisionally register Vitor Roque in January, utilizing 80% of Gavi’s salary for the purpose.

Gavi’s season-ending injury, a ruptured ACL, dealt a significant blow to Barcelona, prompting a reconsideration of their plans. The club secured Roque’s signing from Athletico Paranaense during the summer window for €61 million, including add-ons.

Originally slated to join in January, Roque’s arrival faced delays due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) issues, compounded by a pending €40 million payment from Libero. Barcelona now faces the decision of whether to expedite Roque’s registration in light of Gavi’s absence, navigating the complex landscape of FFP regulations. Explore the intricacies of Barcelona’s strategic choices amidst the challenging financial landscape.
