Barcelona signed Vitor Roque with so much expectation, as he was seen as one of football’s next big thing from Brazil.

It didn’t start out too well for Roque under former boss Xavi Hernandez, as he had limited playing time.

Roque is currently on loan with Real Betis, and Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has revealed Vitor Roque wasn’t happy at Barcelona, which led to his loan move to Real Betis.

Hansi Flick said: “I remember I spoke to Vitor Roque as soon as I arrived… and he was not happy at Barcelona.”

He went on: “Joining Betis was the best decision possible, for sure.”

Roque has already scored three La Liga goals for Betis, and seems to be an important player for them.
