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

Four Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing Brazilian forward Vitor Roque from Palmeiras during the January transfer window, a move that could earn Barcelona around €10 million.

According to a report by Barca Universal on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton are monitoring the 21-year-old striker ahead of a possible transfer.

Barcelona are also keeping a close eye on the situation because they included a sell-on clause when they allowed Roque to leave the club in February 2025.

After struggling to make an impact during his time at Camp Nou, the Brazilian has rebuilt his reputation with impressive performances at Palmeiras. His progress has reportedly attracted interest from several clubs in the Premier League.

Everton, Chelsea and Tottenham are believed to have been following his situation, while Manchester United have recently joined the race. Reports suggest that representatives of the interested clubs have already contacted his agents to understand the possible conditions of a transfer.

Roque's agent, Andre Cury, has confirmed that several European clubs have shown interest in his client. However, he indicated that discussions have not yet reached an advanced stage.

Palmeiras are not expected to make it easy for interested clubs to sign the striker because he remains under contract until December 2029. The Brazilian club are therefore in a strong negotiating position and are reportedly demanding at least €50 million for his departure.

That valuation is particularly important to Barcelona because of the financial conditions agreed upon when Roque left the Spanish club.

Barcelona previously received €25.5 million in fixed payments and additional bonuses from his transfer, while also securing a percentage of any future sale.

Under the agreement, Barcelona are entitled to 10 per cent of a transfer fee below €35 million. Their share increases to 15 per cent if the fee falls between €35 million and €40.99 million. For any transfer worth €41 million or more, the Catalan club will receive 20 per cent.

This means Barcelona could collect approximately €10 million if Palmeiras agree to sell Roque for their reported asking price of €50 million.

Barcelona sporting director Deco, who played an important role in bringing the Brazilian to Camp Nou, is expected to continue monitoring developments surrounding his former player.

Although the potential payment would not allow Barcelona to recover their entire initial investment, it would provide the club with additional money and offer some financial relief.

However, Palmeiras' €50 million valuation could become a major obstacle in the negotiations. The Premier League clubs interested in Roque will have to decide whether they are prepared to meet the Brazilian side's financial demands before any possible January transfer can take place.
