Barcelona wonderkid Vitor Roque's agreement to join Palmeiras on-loan may be cancelled due to procedural issues..

Spanish media outlet Relevo's renowned Italian transfer journalist Matteo Moretto exclusively reported on Monday that the agreement of Barcelona's Brazil international forward wonderkid Vitor Roque, who is currently on-loan at Real Betis, to join Palmeiras on-loan may be cancelled due to procedural issues.

According to Moretto's report, since FIFA has already stipulated that no player can be registered by three different clubs in the same season, and the Spanish transfer window has already closed on February 3, it seems that this agreement will be unapproved in principle.

On the other hand, since La Liga has already stipulated that no club can recall its players who were already loaned-out after the transfer window has closed and then register them as players loaned-out to another club, Barcelona has violated the league's transfer procedure rules.

Moreover, since this was only a unilateral agreement between Barcelona and Palmeiras, and Real Betis was kept in the dark, theoretically the Blaugrana had seriously violated FIFA's transfer procedure rules, which resulted in the transfer being disapproved.

Once Roque's loan transfer agreement to Palmeiras is confirmed to be cancelled, Barcelona and the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club are likely to be further punished by FIFA.

At the same time, this will also severely hit the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club's plan to sign a superstar before participating in the FIFA Club World Cup this summer.

In addition, Moretto also revealed that regardless of whether the agreement is eventually cancelled or not, and regardless of Roque's performances during his loan spell at Real Betis this season, the former Athletico Paranaense wonderkid will certanly be sold during this upcoming transfer window because the player has completely fallen out with Barcelona.
