Barcelona’s transfer puzzle: Vitor Roque holds the key to Williams and Olmo deals

Barcelona is actively maneuvering in the transfer market, focusing on several key players to bolster their squad. Over the weekend, the club had new contacts with Dani Olmo’s camp and is preparing a fresh proposal to send to RB Leipzig. While Barcelona is waiting for Nico Williams to make his decision, they are keeping the Olmo option alive. The club feels that Olmo is keen on joining them, making it essential to stay ready for any sudden developments. Bayern Munich and Manchester City also have Olmo on their list, but no bids have been sent.

In another development, Al Hilal has approached Barcelona for Vitor Roque, as reported by Saudi media. Roque and his camp are now considering their options, preferably within Europe, as the Brazilian forward starts to realize that opportunities at Barcelona will be limited. The sale of Roque is pivotal for Barcelona’s plans to acquire Nico Williams. Barcelona’s stance remains unchanged: their total priority is Nico Williams, and no other signings will be pursued until they receive a final answer from the Athletic Bilbao player. Contacts have been made for Dani Olmo and João Cancelo, but progress on these fronts will be on hold until the Nico Williams situation is resolved.
