As the summer transfer window draws nearer and nearer, the competition in the transfer market is getting more and more intense. According to a number of well-known journalists, Portuguese sports clubs have officially joined the battle for Barcelona's young striker Rocco, and earlier showed strong interest in Everton together as Rocco's potential next home.

Moretto, a reporter from the Spanish media outlet Relevo, exclusively disclosed that Sporting Portugal is in deep talks with Barcelona about a potential transfer of Roque. The news quickly attracted widespread attention in the soccer world, as Roque's talent and potential as a rising star in Brazilian football has long been recognized by a number of big clubs.

Meanwhile, transfer expert Romano has also reprinted Moretto's report and confirmed that Sporting Portugal have indeed contacted Barcelona to make initial inquiries about a move for Roque. The move is further proof of Sporting Portugal's strong interest in Roque, as they look to bring the Brazilian striker into the fold to bolster the team's attacking prowess.

For Barcelona, the Roque transfer negotiations are undoubtedly a tricky one. They need to clear out the redundant players in their squad while weighing up the offers to maximize the financial benefits. Roque himself is also facing a difficult choice, as he needs to carefully consider his future direction and which team can provide him with a better environment for growth and playing opportunities.

Although Everton had previously expressed a strong interest in Roque and were willing to pay a high transfer fee, they have yet to send any formal offer to Barcelona. This move may mean that Everton have taken a more cautious approach in the transfer negotiations, and they are waiting for more information to be disclosed and changes in the transfer market in order to make a more informed decision.

As the transfer market continues to heat up, Roque's future home will be the center of attention for many fans and media. Both Sporting Portugal and Everton, and even other potential buyers, will be doing their best in this fierce battle to successfully sign the rising star of Brazilian soccer.
