The coming summer could see Barcelona offload multiple players, as the club gear up for a major squad overhaul.
Some players could leave in order to free up space in the wage bill, while others may leave on loan, in an attempt to get their careers back on track.
Vitor Roque sits at the top of the second list, with the forward desperately looking to revive his career after an extremely slow start to life in Barcelona.
Barcelona have made the final decision to allow Vitor Roque to move elsewhere on a loan deal this summer, but it appears the club have one clear condition.
Barcelona’s condition for Vitor Roque’s loan deal
According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona only want to loan out Vitor Roque to a Spanish team in the coming summer.
The club, despite making the decision to loan out Roque, are being very particular about the sporting aspects in regards to a future loan deal.

This is to ensure that Roque receives the game-time he deserves so that the Brazilian can quickly adapt to La Liga.
Who are the suitors?
Vitor Roque has no shortage of suitors in Spain, with clubs such as Real Betis, Sevilla, Valencia and Girona interested in his services. These clubs are willing to sign Roque even without a purchase clause.
Real Betis are reportedly leading the race to sign Roque, due to the club’s excellent relationship with Barcelona. The two clubs have made several deals in the past, including Abde Ezzalzouli last summer.
However, the final decision will be made by Vitor Roque, as the youngster looks to take an important step in his career.
