€50 million transfer: ex-Barcelona forward Vitor Roque could move to the Premier League

Everton are showing serious interest in Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque ahead of the January transfer window. The Brazilian forward’s agent, André Cury, has confirmed that European clubs are closely monitoring the 21-year-old. He made the revelation in comments to Bolavip.

Roque has attracted the attention of leading European sides following a string of impressive performances for the Brazilian club since returning in 2025. In addition to Everton, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are also competing for the striker. All four clubs remain in contact with the player’s representatives.

However, Palmeiras have no intention of making their star’s potential departure easy. According to the source, the Brazilian club are demanding €50 million for the forward and have no plans to lower that figure. Roque’s contract runs until 2029, giving the club’s hierarchy a strong negotiating position.

Another key factor is the split ownership of the player’s rights. Palmeiras own 80% of the striker’s rights, while Barcelona retained the remaining 20% after selling him last year. As a result, the Brazilian club are aiming to secure the maximum possible transfer fee.
