In an unexpected turn of events, Vitor Roque has decided to reject the offer from Al Hilal, the Saudi club that was willing to do everything possible to pull the promising Brazilian forward away from FC Barcelona. According to the renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Roque has declined the proposal despite the substantial amount of money that the Arab club was willing to offer.
FC Barcelona, aware of the need to balance its finances, had seriously considered the Al Hilal offer. The Catalan club is in a delicate financial situation, and any additional income would be welcome. However, the final decision rested with the player himself, who has chosen to continue his career in Europe, at least for now.

On the other hand, Roque's rejection has forced Al Hilal to quickly seek alternatives.
