Vitor Roque agent said to have confirmed Everton interest in big development

Vitor Roque's agent has confirmed Everton's interest in the 21-year-old Brazilian striker; Palmeiras value him at €50m with Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham also tracking him.

Vitor Roque's agent André Cury has confirmed that Everton are pursuing the 21-year-old Brazilian striker ahead of the January transfer window. Multiple European clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are also in contact with his camp as interest intensifies in the market.

Palmeiras have set a €50m asking price for Roque, who has impressed since returning to the club in 2025. The Brazilian side hold a strong negotiating position with his contract running until 2029, though Barcelona retain a 20% stake in the player from his previous sale. Palmeiras' ownership of 80% means they will push hard for the full fee.

Everton face questions about their spending capacity after the Friedkins withdrew funding late in the summer window, though the owners have pledged backing for manager Moyes in January. The club must also consider whether to invest heavily in another striker or provide cheaper support for current option Thierno Barry.
