Chelsea are among four Premier League clubs tracking Vitor Roque, whose agent has confirmed European interest. Palmeiras will reportedly demand at least €50 million.

Vitor Roque could get another chance in Europe after returning to Brazil. Several Premier League clubs are tracking the 21-year-old Palmeiras forward, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Everton.

The player's agent, Andre Cury, confirmed that European clubs are interested in Roque.

Many clubs in Europe are interested in Vitor.

According to Bolavip, the player's representative also confirmed Everton's interest specifically. Palmeiras declined to comment on the forward's future.

Roque joined Barcelona in early 2024 for €30 million after a bright start to his career in Brazil, but failed to establish himself in Spain.

After a loan spell at Real Betis, Barcelona sold him to Palmeiras in February 2025 for €25.5 million, retaining 20% of the fee from his next transfer.

His return to Brazil helped the forward revive his career.

He scored 20 goals in 2025 as Palmeiras finished runners-up in both the Brazilian league and the Copa Libertadores. Roque also earned a recall to the Brazil squad.

The current season has been more difficult because of injuries. The forward has played 40 matches, but has spent a little over 2,000 minutes on the pitch and scored nine goals.

Despite that, interest from England is growing.

For Manchester United and Tottenham, an interest in a centre-forward appears logical given their search for attacking reinforcements.

The situation at Chelsea is less clear. Xabi Alonso already has Joao Pedro, Danny Welbeck and Emanuel Emegha at his disposal.

Welbeck has had limited playing time, while Emegha has played just 22 minutes for Chelsea so far after hamstring problems.

According to the source, Palmeiras do not intend to let Roque leave cheaply and will demand at least €50 million for him in the winter.

None of the English clubs have yet begun negotiations over a transfer.
