“The player is expected to join the Club for the 2024/25 season and will sign a contract until the 2030/31 season with a buyout clause of 500 million euros ($550.9 million),” Barcelona said in a statement.
“Culers, I’m very happy to sign with Bar a. It’s a dream come true. Tigrinho is coming to Barcelona. See you soon. Forca Barca!” Roque said in a video on Barcelona’s Twitter account.
The 18-year-old has played for Brazil’s Cruzeiro and Athletico Paranaense.
