"Vinicius would have joined Barcelona, but his agent betrayed us"

The figure of Andre Cury is as diffuse as important in Brazilian football. At the beginning of last year, he was spoken of as the right-hand man of Vitor Roque's agent, Ehler Pessoa. Now, he is directly labelled as the agent of 'Tigrinho'. In an interview with the programme 'Tu diràs', on 'RAC1', he revealed the details of the deal to bring him to Barcelona and recalled how Vinicius would have followed the same path if he hadn't changed his mind.

"At the moment, there are several clubs who would be willing to sign Vitor Roque for 50 million. Barca have only paid 10 million, so it would be a great deal. With three operations like this, they would solve their financial problems. Barca pays 5 million every six months until it reaches 31 million. In order to fulfil all the add-ons, Vitor would have to be a starter. If he is a starter at Barca at the age of 20, his price would be 200 million for sure," he said.

"The add-ons? One million for the Ballon d'Or and two or three for being in FIFA's top three. The rest is for starting half the games," he added. "Vitor is very happy with the opportunity to defend the Barca shirt. He is very good physically and very strong mentally, waiting for the opportunity to show it on the pitch. Xavi likes him a lot and respects his work. He also understands the situation, but I think that, in some games, he could have played a few more minutes. He's not going to go out on loan", he added.

"Vitor Roque is a complete player, as players like Romario and Rivaldo have said. The position of No. 9 at Barca is very well filled. Barca don't have to worry about Endrick, my opinion is that they have to think about signing 'Messinho' because he would give the 'Cules' a lot of joy alongside Vitor. I'm backing
