Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham have joined the race for Palmeiras' 21-year-old Brazilian forward Vitor Roque ahead of 2027, according to sports publication Bola.
Roque's agent, Andre Cury, confirmed interest from European teams. Everton are also monitoring the forward's situation ahead of the opening of the English winter transfer window. However, Palmeiras are taking a firm stance and will only open talks if they receive an offer of at least €50 million. The forward's current contract runs until December 2029.
Roque joined Palmeiras in February 2025 for €25.5 million, making him the most expensive signing in the club's history. The Brazilian club own 80% of the player's economic rights, while Barcelona retained 20% of any future resale. Since returning to Brazil, the forward has regained his form, scoring 20 goals in his debut season before making 40 appearances and scoring 10 times in 2026.
Interest from the English clubs remains at the monitoring and assessment stage, before any formal enquiries are made. A transfer this winter appears unlikely, with Palmeiras' firm financial demands and the length of Roque's contract set to make negotiations difficult in the middle of the European season.
