Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo data: They were going to go to Barcelona…

Andre Cury, coach of the new signing of Barcelona Vitor Roque, has announced in the program ‘El Larguero’ the details of the transfer of the 18-year-old Brazilian striker from Club Athletico Paranaense.

Vitor Roque has been signed by Barcelona until 2031 with a termination clause of 500 million euros. The transfer of him cost a total of 61 million euros, of which 30 million euros were at a fixed price and 31 million euros in premiums.

“The commission’s stories are lies. The price is 30+31. If you have to pay, pay happily”, said André Cury when revealing the real price of the transfer of Vitor Roque to Barcelona.

Coach Andre Cury, who brought Ronaldinho to Barcelona in 2003 and Neymar in 2013, told Cadena SER that Vitor Roque will join Barca in January 2024.

“TO VINICIUS JR AND RODRYGO FROM BARCELONA…”

Andre Cury, in the program ‘El Larguero’, assured that the young stars of Real Madrid Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo have returned from the gates of Barcelona in the past.

Cury said about Vinicius in ‘Què T’hi Jugues’ in 2021: “Vinicius was going to transfer to Barcelona. Both of the player’s coaches were very close friends of mine. This issue was resolved for us, but at the last second my friends betrayed me and the club. We haven’t spoken since 2017.”

“THEY HAVE TREATED US”

In ‘El Larguero’, Andre Cury retells the story of Vinicius’ near-signing for Barcelona and affirms that Rodrygo could come to Barcelona:

“We had very good control of both players. The Vinicius issue is a matter of betrayal, because in the end people very close to me betrayed us. We agreed on Rodrygo, but in the end the club decided not to sign him.”

“NOBODY KNOWS VINICIUS IN MADRID”

“The Vinicius issue was completely settled and Madrid found out that Vinicius was in Barcelona and they invited him to Madrid. But in Madrid nobody knew him. Vinicius went to Madrid at the choice of his coach. We worked on the transfer for three years and his manager betrayed us. Vinicius told me that he was a Barcelona fan. He cried with Barcelona’s 6-1 win over PSG. He told me that, I haven’t heard it from others.”

“RODRYGO IS MORE TALENTED”

Speaking about Rodrygo’s situation with Barcelona, ​​the coach used the following statements:

“We agreed with Rodrygo, but Barça ultimately did not decide to intervene. After speaking with Vinicius, we decided to transfer Rodrygo after the betrayal. I think Rodrygo has more talent than Vinicius. We went to Santos to negotiate for him, we couldn’t close the deal and Madrid arrived with more economic power. His father told me that if I get the deal between Santos and Barcelona, ​​Rodrygo will go to Barcelona for less money.
