Barcelona are looking to sign Vitor Roque (not pictured).
Barcelona could miss out on Athletico Paranaense prodigy Vitor Roque, with Arsenal and AC Milan willing to pay more for the striker.
According to El Nacional, the 18-year-old Roque's initial valuation of 35m will be increased amid interest from the Gunners and the Rossonerri. Barca president Joan Laporta met with the striker's agent and reached an oral agreement. However, the Barcelona deal is stalling as other potential suitors enter the fray including Arsenal and Milan. The Blaugrana are confident that Roque can become world-class, and their director of football Mateu Alemany is doing everything to get him to Camp Nou.
Roque is also seen as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. He has scored five goals and two assists in ten appearances in all competitions. The Brazilian has been compared to former Barca striker Sergio Aguero. His 5'6" frame allows him to get into half-space and create problems in and around the box.
Barcelona are trying to comply with Financial Fair Play laws ahead of the summer transfer window. La Liga president Javier Tebas has told them they need to cut their salary bill by 200 million euros.
Barca boss Xavi is increasingly worried about a lack of movement in a potential deal. Roque appears to be the club's main attack target, so interest from Arsenal and Milan is a problem. Arsenal among several Premier League clubs to watch Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele
