Report: Man United considering loan move for 19-year-old Spurs target

According to the print edition of Mundo Deportivo (as relayed by Sport Witness), Manchester United have now entered the race to sign Barcelona youngster Vitor Roque, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham.

Tottenham like Barcelona’s Vitor Roque

Last month, a whole host of outlets suggested that Tottenham had been alerted after Roque’s representatives started exploring a move away from Barcelona for their client this summer in search of regular game time (TBR Football).

This information was backed up by AS, who said that Spurs had tried to sign the 19-year-old last summer prior to his switch to Camp Nou and were now ready to reignite their interest in the player.

Man Utd enter the race for Vitor Roque

Mundo Deportivo have now claimed that Man Utd are on the lookout for a number nine and have now turned their attention to Roque.

The report reveals that the Red Devils have now contacted the teenager’s agent to express an interest in signing him on loan while Juventus are also keen on the forward.

Additionally, the publication adds that the likes of Porto, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, Lens, Napoli, Lyon, Nice, Sevilla and Real Betis are all monitoring the Barca star’s situation.

It remains to be seen whether Spurs or Man United make an official move for the youngster.

Spurs Web Opinion

It sounds like Tottenham would have to get involved in a bidding war for Roque if they wish to land him this summer.

I cannot see Spurs considering a loan move for the Brazilian unless Barca are willing to offer an option to buy.
