After the 18-year-old was unveiled as the latest Blaugrana signing, his agent made an appearance on the Charla Podcast in which he made the huge claim that both United and Tottenham had lodged enormous bids for Roque.

“I can confirm that English clubs tried to hijack the Vitor Roque deal,” agent Andre Cury said. “Tottenham and Manchester United sent important bids, way better than Barça. They were worth more than €100m in total.
