Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham eyeing Brazilian – €50m required

Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are tracking Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque, 21, who has a €50m price tag and is also wanted by Everton.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham have joined the race for Brazilian striker Vitor Roque ahead of the January transfer window, according to reports. The 21-year-old has impressed at Palmeiras since returning to Brazil in February 2023 for €25.5m, scoring 29 goals and eight assists in 96 games. His agent, André Cury, has confirmed that the three English clubs have shown interest and are in contact with his entourage. Everton are also keen on the forward, potentially for next year.

Palmeiras have set a minimum asking price of €50m to begin negotiations, with the player's contract running until December 2029. The club holds 80% of his economic rights, while Barcelona retain 20%, strengthening Palmeiras' negotiating position. Roque scored 20 goals last season and has nine in all competitions this term, making him an attractive prospect for multiple European suitors.
