Man Utd & Chelsea want to sign Palmeiras striker

Manchester United and Chelsea are keen on landing the signature of Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque, according to Football Insider.

The 20-year-old signed for Barcelona from Palmeiras in January 2024, but he spent only half a season with them before he was loaned out to Real Betis.

His time at Betis was cut short in February this year. Barcelona agreed to sell him back to Palmeiras, where he has now revived his career.

Roque has netted 20 goals and provided five assists from 52 games since his comeback, and he is now eyeing a return to European football.

United and Chelsea have been impressed by his performances in the Brazilian Serie A and could swoop for his services in the coming year.

A mid-season deal could be difficult to pull off. Roque wants to stay with Palmeiras until next summer before pursuing a new challenge.

With the World Cup next summer, Roque is determined to continue at Palmeiras to boost his chances of making the Brazil squad.
