There is speculation about the possibility that Manchester United and FC Barcelona are interested in exploring a loan swap involving Vitor Roque and Mason Greenwood. There is also growing interest in Greenwood from Atlético Madrid.
“He is under contract with Barcelona. If we chose Barca, because we had other options to earn double, it is because we wanted to play at Barca. We will show, and I am certain that Vitor will be a great player, but if Barca does not let him… The club, the coach, or I don’t know what is happening internally, we will have to look for another path.”
A few days ago, André Cury, the agent of Vitor Roque, made it clear that if he continues to play a secondary role in Xavi Hernández’s plans, the forward will look for new horizons at the end of the season.
These statements have been decisive for a media outlet in Britain, HITC, to speculate today about the possibility of the Brazilian moving to the Premier League. The site explains that the striker is very appealing to Manchester United, a team that wishes to strengthen its attack for the upcoming season.
Roque could be used in a loan swap
The source goes a step further and dares to assert that both clubs would view favorably the possibility of closing a loan swap between the former Athletico Paranaense player and Mason Greenwood, a winger who is making the most out of his loan at Getafe and who, apparently, is liked by Xavi Hernández.
In any case, the media outlet does not commit itself and makes it clear that there are more teams interested in the English player.
Among them, an Atlético de Madrid that intends to rejuvenate its offensive line, and even Getafe itself, which would be delighted to retain a player who has adapted perfectly to the team.
