Barcelona Set for €10m Windfall as Man United, Chelsea Battle for Former Striker in January

According to a report by Barca Universal on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton are reportedly considering moves for Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque ahead of the January transfer window, with a potential €50 million deal set to earn Barcelona an additional €10 million through a sell-on clause.

Barcelona previously sold Roque to Palmeiras in February 2025 after the Brazilian forward struggled to secure a regular place at the Camp Nou. However, the Spanish giants included financial conditions in the agreement that would allow them to receive a share of any future transfer fee.

The 21-year-old has reportedly attracted interest from several Premier League clubs following his improved displays in Brazil. Tottenham, Chelsea and Everton have been monitoring his situation, while Manchester United have also recently emerged as potential contenders.

Reports indicate that the interested clubs have begun making enquiries about the financial requirements of a possible deal, with discussions involving the striker’s representatives. His agent, Andre Cury, has confirmed that several European teams have shown interest, although he suggested that negotiations are not yet at an advanced stage.

Palmeiras remain in a strong negotiating position because Roque’s contract with the Brazilian club runs until December 2029. The club are reportedly demanding a minimum of €50 million before considering his departure, a figure that could prove difficult for some of his suitors to meet.

The valuation is also significant for Barcelona because of the sell-on agreement negotiated when the striker returned to Brazil. The Catalan club received €25.5 million through fixed payments and additional variables from the original deal, while retaining a percentage of any future sale.

Under the agreement, Barcelona would receive 10 per cent of a subsequent transfer fee below €35 million. Their share rises to 15 per cent for deals worth between €35 million and €40.99 million, while a transfer valued at €41 million or above would entitle them to 20 per cent.

This means Barcelona could collect approximately €10 million if Palmeiras secure their reported €50 million asking price. The payment would provide an additional financial boost for the Spanish club, although it would not represent a full recovery of their previous investment in the forward.

Barcelona sporting director Deco is also reportedly keeping an eye on the situation, having been involved in the club’s original decision to sign Roque.

Nevertheless, Palmeiras’ valuation remains a major obstacle to any potential January move. Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton will have to determine whether they are willing to meet the Brazilian side’s financial demands.

While Barcelona could benefit from the sell-on arrangement, Roque’s future will ultimately depend on the offers received and whether Palmeiras are prepared to negotiate his departure.
