While Real Madrid's new signing Endrick is on a 12-game goalless streak, Vitor Roque is doing well for Brazil U20 and Atletico Paranaense.
Barca's priority transfer target bagged 6 goals and provided one assist in 8 matches for Brazil U20 at the 2023 South American Championship.
Shortly after coming back from the international tournament, Roque found the net in one of his first two appearances for Atletico Paranaense.
The 18-year-old should also be praised for his defensive contribution over the last 365 days; Roque makes more tackles, interceptions and blocks per 90 minutes than other forwards in some of the world's leagues whose level is comparable to Brazil's.
Xavi should be happy seeing Vitor Roque's progress. Barcelona have already initiated the talks to land the starlet who is expected to succeed Robert Lewandowski in a year or two.
