The website "Fichajes" reported that the English club Chelsea has expressed interest in signing Brazilian striker Vitor Roque, currently of Palmeiras, following the impressive level he has shown this season, after difficult periods he previously experienced with Barcelona and Real Betis.

The site clarified that Roque, who joined Palmeiras in February 2025 for around 25 million euros, is experiencing a significant period of brilliance, having scored more than ten goals in the Brazilian league, along with four goals in the Copa Libertadores, making him one of the standout strikers in Brazil recently.

The same source indicated that the player's brilliance has caught Chelsea's attention, especially after the impressive performance he delivered against the English team in the Club World Cup, which has increased the chances of monitoring him in preparation for a future signing.

The report added that Palmeiras recognizes the player's importance to its squad and will not easily part with him, as the Brazilian club intends to impose high financial conditions if any official offer from Chelsea arrives.

The source also explained that the player's stints at Barcelona and Real Betis were not successful due to injuries and adaptation difficulties, but his current brilliance could reopen doors to Europe for him once again.
