"I found it strange because Betis doesn't have much money. It worried me. I saw that Vitor needed more support, and Palmeiras has all the advantages for that. According to the agent, the move to Palmeiras made much more sense from both a football and personal perspective. The option of living in front of the training centre, close to the stadium, close to us. I thought it would give him the strength to get back to his best."
"Just yesterday, Cury revealed that offers worth around €50 million were being prepared from several Premier League clubs for the talented forward, something that would benefit Barcelona as well. Now, he has spoken in detail about why they decided to part ways with the Catalan side and instead seek a move to Palmeiras, after an earlier arrangement failed to materialise. What really happened?"
"The agent also expressed frustration that Roque was unlikely to receive enough playing time at Betis. He felt that the La Liga club's investment in Cucho Hernandez meant there was little chance for Roque to become a key figure there. Cury explained, "Vitor took a while to score goals at Palmeiras. If he had been on loan at Betis, they would have taken him off right away. "When a club invests a lot of money in a player, they think differently," explained the agent."
Offers around €50 million from several Premier League clubs were being prepared for Vitor Roque, which could have benefited Barcelona. Barcelona decided to send Roque on loan to Real Betis, a move that surprised his agent Andre Cury. The agent judged Betis to lack financial resources and sufficient support, reducing Roque's chances of consistent playing time due to investment in Cucho Hernandez. Palmeiras offered footballing and personal advantages, including living near the training centre and stadium, which the agent believed would help Roque regain form and development after an earlier arrangement failed to materialise.
