Barcelona have reportedly agreed a fee to sell striker Vitor Roque to Palmeiras before the Brazilian transfer window shuts next week. The young striker left Barca in the summer after struggling for minutes in the 12 months that followed his €30m arrival from Athletico Paranaense - the deal included a further €31m in add-ons - and joined Betis on a loan deal which includes a €25m option to buy.

Vitor Roque was back in the starting XI for Betis on Thursday night in the Europa League but endured another tough game as he was sent off in the 82nd minute against Gent. The Brazilian has found starts hard to come by lately and would have been hoping to impress Manuel Pellegrini but instead was handed his marching orders for a poor challenge on Archie Brown.
