Vitor Roque is experiencing a second youth in Brazil. After discreet stints at Barcelona and Real Betis, the forward shines brightly at Palmeiras and is already attracting interest from Chelsea.

Vitor Roque flourishes at Palmeiras after a tumultuous past

Vitor Roque landed at Palmeiras in February 2025 for around 25 million euros. Since then, he has responded with offensive force.

In the Brazilian league, he has scored over ten goals, displaying consistent performance.

Moreover, in the Copa Libertadores, he has contributed with four goals, solidifying his position as a continental reference.

This goal-scoring prowess is a far cry from his time at Betis or Barça, where injuries and adaptation limited him.

Chelsea's interest and the current market situation

Vitor Roque's rise has captured attention in Europe. Chelsea is among the clubs closely monitoring the Brazilian.

In the last Club World Cup edition, Roque had notable interventions against Chelsea, boosting his international visibility.

The deal wouldn't be easy: Palmeiras and its executives know he is a valuable asset in their squad, so they will demand strict conditions.

Challenges for Chelsea and market proposals

If Chelsea decides to make a move, they will have to overcome European competition and meet economic demands from Palmeiras.

Another obstacle: the São Paulo club will seek to retain him for at least one more season to enhance his performance and resale value.

For Roque, a return to European football means adapting to faster rhythms, media pressure, and internal competition.

Barcelona and Real Betis: shadows of the past haunting his present

Vitor Roque left Barcelona with hopes but without solidifying his place. His return from Brazil often impacts the Catalan club, which retains part of his rights.

At Betis, his loan departure left wounds. There were rumors he wanted to leave when Palmeiras showed interest. His agent denied those claims.

Both clubs, Barcelona and Betis, could benefit financially from future sales due to residual clauses in the transfer agreements.

Vitor Roque is no longer a promise for the future: he is a goal-scoring reality blending experience and youth. If Chelsea decides to take the plunge, he could be the Brazilian's next major leap. Vitor Roque keeps climbing, and his European destination attracts determined eyes.
