"It seems that big move may have come a bit too soon for Roque, who is still young and who is now looking like he's got his career firmly back on track with Palmeiras. With 13 goals in 28 league games in 2025, Roque is starting to catch the eye of top European clubs again, with Chelsea mentioned as one of his main suitors, according to Mundo Deportivo."
"Roque won't come cheap, however, with the report explaining that Palmeiras would want around 50m for him. The young Brazilian forward is also on the radar of clubs like Man Utd, Tottenham and West Ham at the moment, so there could be a fierce race for his signature. Still, Chelsea have done well to recruit elite young talent from around the world in recent times, so that could lure Roque to becoming part of their project."
"The Blues could also surely have a key role ready for him, as Enzo Maresca looks like he could do with an upgrade on Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, neither of whom have really made much of an impact at Stamford Bridge so far. It will be interesting to see what happens next with Roque, but he'll surely want to choose his next club carefully after things went so wrong for him at Barca."
Vitor Roque has regained form at Palmeiras after difficult spells at Barcelona and on loan at Real Betis. He scored 13 goals in 28 league games in 2025 and is attracting attention from top European clubs. Palmeiras value him at around €50m. Chelsea are among the clubs pursuing Roque, alongside Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham. Chelsea's recent recruitment of elite young talent could appeal to Roque and Enzo Maresca may seek a forward upgrade. Joao Pedro and Liam Delap have not made a significant impact at Stamford Bridge, creating room for competition.
