FC Barcelona eyeing financial return from potential Vitor Roque sale

FC Barcelona are monitoring the future of Brazilian striker Vitor Roque, who plays for Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras. This comes amid interest from Manchester United, Everton, Chelsea, and Tottenham in signing him during the upcoming winter transfer window.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", citing "TEAMtalk", the four clubs have reached out to the player's camp to understand the terms of his signing. André Cury, his agent, confirmed Everton's interest, noting that other European clubs are also keen to sign him.

Palmeiras are asking for at least €50 million to start negotiations regarding the player's departure, who is under contract with the club until December 2029.

FC Barcelona is monitoring developments regarding the transfer of Vitor Roque, having retained 20% of the resale value if the transfer exceeds €41 million. This is part of the agreement for his departure to Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras for a fixed fee of €22.5 million, plus variables.

As a result, the sale of the Brazilian forward for €50 million will grant FC Barcelona €10 million, which makes Deco, the club's sporting director, interested in following the developments of his future, despite the absence of any confirmed official offers so far.
