Moretto Column: Vitor Roque, Mario Hermoso & Girona plans for next season

Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest deals dominating the papers in Spain, as revealed in Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing.

As we said last week, it’s a problem that is not 100% clear right now, and all parties are going to focus on reaching a decision on what to do this summer. His agent Andre Cury, after his comments on Catalan radio, will have fresh contacts with Barcelona to establish the best course of action.

It’s clear that Xavi Hernandez does not see him as an option to play regularly as things stand, and is not making life as easy as it might be for him at Barcelona. There are a multitude of teams that are enquiring about him for a loan deal, a lot of Spanish teams, but also sides from abroad.

I know his agent Cury has a very good relationship with Manchester United, that much is true, as well as one or two other sides in the Premier League. Barcelona, in theory, they have just signed him, he’s a signing for the future, so they don’t want to transfer him. For them, clearly, a loan deal could be best, but as we’ve seen, Cury has said that they are not open to that. There will be a lot more talks down the line about Roque’s future.

Atletico Madrid have communicated to central defender Mario Hermoso that they will not renew his deal. The two sides know they will not reach an agreement, they are aware of that, and his chapter at Atletico Madrid will come to an end at the end of the season. There are multiple teams from Saudi Arabia interested in him, they have spoken to his agents more than anyone else. They would offer him a significant salary, and are the closest, by virtue of the fact that they have pushed more than anyone else.

Hermoso’s agent is shopping him in other leagues in
