"The Vitor Roque operation at Barcelona was, by most measures, a failure. The Brazilian striker arrived as a rising star but never acclimatised and was barely used by Xavi Hernandez, and was not in Hansi Flick's plans. He was eventually sold back to Palmeiras in a complex deal that saw Barça lose around €4.5 million, not including salary. However, the club expects some bonus revenue from the Roque deal thanks to a few clauses that were incorporated in the original deal."
"As part of the sale, Barça negotiated €5 million in variables on top of the €25.5 million fee. While most are difficult to achieve, with Barcelona already losing out €2 million due to Palmeiras' exit from the Club World Cup, a key clause is tied to winning major trophies. If Palmeiras wins the Libertadores, Barça is set to receive a bonus of close to €1 million."
"Beyond that immediate bonus, the club are also banking on a much larger, long-term payday. Indeed, the club had notably retained 20% of Vitor Roque's future sale rights. Barcelona are convinced that the striker will eventually star in another high-profile transfer. Several Premier League clubs are already closely monitoring his stellar form, and while a move isn't expected in January, it's seen as an inevitability."
