UEFA Champions League
Atlético de Madrid has included Vitor Roque, a 21-year-old forward from Palmeiras, in their monitoring agenda for the winter. The Atlético's transfer market will be quite active in January with possible departures and signings.
As reported by journalist Ekrem Konur, the Madrid-based club aims to incorporate the Brazilian forward to strengthen their attack, although they will have to compete with four Premier League clubs for a player whose market value stands at 38 million euros according to Transfermarkt.
Vitor Roque's Recovery in Brazil after his stint in Spain
The Brazilian international, capped twice, joined Palmeiras in February 2025, signing a long-term contract valid until December 2029. This period in his home country follows his spell in European football with FC Barcelona and Real Betis.

In the current edition of the Brazilian national league, the 21-year-old forward has 4 goals and 1 assist in 14 games played. These performances have reignited the interest of Atlético de Madrid's scouts, who are seeking attacking alternatives after securing the retention of Julián Álvarez in the rojiblanco squad.
Premier League Competition for Palmeiras' Forward
The striker's displays not only caught the attention of Atlético de Madrid's technical staff but also that of four English football clubs. Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring the player's contractual situation with the aim of making a move in the January transfer window.
Currently, there are no advanced negotiations between the clubs and Palmeiras' management. The São Paulo-based institution holds the player's federative rights and is not under financial pressure to authorize a transfer below his market valuation.
Atlético de Madrid's analysts will continue evaluating the striker's performance during the official matches in South America this autumn. The rojiblanca board will decide in December 2026 whether to make an initial formal proposal to Palmeiras before the official opening of the winter transfer market on January 1, 2027.
