 | Deku on Rock: Going to Europe early is always difficult. Moreover, going to Barça or Real Madrid is the highest step in your career. Endric also had few chances in Madrid7-11-2025 |
Deco compared the situations of Vitor Roque in Barcelona and Endric in Real Madrid. 20-year-old Brazilian forward Roque, who moved to Barca during the 2023/24 season, did not gain a foothold in the Catalans and was eventually sold to Palmeiras.
18-year-old Brazilian forward Endric played 22 matches for Real Madrid in La Liga last season and scored 1 goal, spending an average of 16 minutes on the field.
Coaches are always consulted when it comes to signings. The decision to sign Vitor Roque in January was made by Xavi. The point was for him to adapt quickly. But at the end of the day, this is football. Going to Europe early is always difficult. Especially to Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Endrik formally played a lot of games in Madrid, but overall he also had few chances to prove himself. We are talking about clubs that are the highest level in a career. For such young guys, it can be difficult. Sometimes things don`t work out.
And Vitor didn`t cost as much as people say. “In addition, we have returned most of the investment – 25 out of 30 million euros, ” said Barcelona’s sporting director.
