Font accused Barcelona of doing dirty business during the signing of Vitor Roque. Speaking to RAC1 earlier this week: ‘Irregularities raise suspicions. Let them come out and explain themselves. If Barça planned and were transparent. There would not have been a mess like what happened with Barça Studios or the signing of Vitor Roque. Because nobody knows what the benefits are. ‘

Vitor Roque was first offered to Barcelona in January 2023. When Mateu Alemany was working as director of football and Jordi Cruyff as sporting director. But the Blaugrana rejected the deal on sporting and economic grounds, before it happened a year later. When Deco took over as sporting director, having previously worked as a scout at the club. 

The deal saw Barcelona pay an initial €30m, plus €31m in bonuses, to sign Vitor Roque, but he only stayed at the club for six months before being sent on loan to Real Betis for the season.
