"Chelsea are very interested in signing Vitor Roque this summer and are preparing a substantial offer to secure his transfer. The Brazilian striker's departure would be possible if a sufficiently attractive proposal arrives. The report suggests that the London club have already made an initial offer of €50 million, although Palmeiras consider that amount insufficient to part with one of their key players."
"If Palmeiras sell the player for less than €40 million, Barcelona would receive only 10% of the transfer fee. However, if the sale exceeds that threshold, the Catalan club are entitled to the full 20% share. Therefore, if a deal around €50 million were to materialise, as is being speculated, the Catalans would earn around €10 million from the transfer."
"After a frustrating spell in Barcelona, the striker appears to have rediscovered his form in Brazil, which could soon open the door to another opportunity. So far this season, Vitor Roque has scored five goals and provided one assist in 13 appearances for Palmeiras."
Vitor Roque's Barcelona tenure ended after minimal playing time under Xavi Hernandez. He was loaned to Real Betis during summer 2024 before permanently joining Palmeiras in January 2025 for €25.5 million plus variables. Barcelona retained 20% of future transfer rights, with a tiered structure: 10% if sold below €40 million, 20% if above. Chelsea now pursues Roque with a €50 million initial offer, which Palmeiras deems insufficient. A deal at this price would net Barcelona approximately €10 million. Roque has scored five goals in 13 Palmeiras appearances this season, suggesting renewed form after his disappointing European experience.
