Part 3/7:
Despite the apparent agreement between Palmeiras and Barcelona, the crux of the issue lies with Real Betis, who remains hesitant to release Roque, especially as they currently compete in the UEFA Conference League. Roque’s lack of playing time has reportedly contributed to his unhappiness, having featured minimally since his arrival in Spain.
Contractual Elements and Implications
The structure of the transfer is complex, involving three parties: Palmeiras, Barcelona, and Real Betis. While the financial aspects are seemingly settled, the player’s future is contingent on Betis agreeing to release him. The need for a timely resolution intensifies as Palmeiras hopes for Roque to make an appearance in the Libertadores set to commence in April.
