Athletico Paranaense have announced Vitor Roque will join Barcelona in January.

Barca had signed Roque earlier this year, but there were doubts about whether he would join in January or June at the end of the season.

But Paranaense have now declared Roque will be leaving for Barca over the New Year.

A club statement read: "Last act with the Athletico fans.

"The match against Santos will be Vitor Roque's last in the Ligga Arena before heading to Europe."

Roque has committed to a deal to 2031 with Barca, which he will sign upon arriving in Spain.
