According to Mundo Deportivo, Milan and Arsenal are the main contenders for his signature.

Roca came up through the Espanyol academy and has spent his entire career with this club, but the time has come to move on.

According to the latest reports, Victor Osimhen will make a decision over the next 48 hours, but a new intermediary has helped smooth things over with Napoli.
