English club Everton is evaluating a transfer bid for Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque ahead of the January 2027 window, O GLOBO reported on Wednesday. The Premier League side wants to bolster its attacking options for manager David Moyes, specifically targeting the 21-year-old Brazilian as competition for center-forward Thierno Barry.
Palmeiras Sets €50 Million Price Tag and Contract Terms
Securing the forward will not be straightforward for the English side. Palmeiras has no intention of negotiating Vitor Roque for less than 50 million euros, which translates to roughly R$ 310 million, according to Diário do Povo. That figure serves strictly as the starting point for any formal discussions between the clubs. The player’s long-term contract runs through December 2029, placing the São Paulo club in a strong bargaining position.
Career Trajectory From Europe Back to Brazilian Football
Vitor Roque rebuilt his career in domestic football following a difficult stint in Spain. After standing out for Athletico-PR, he joined Barcelona, where he struggled for regular playing time before TMC reported his transfer to Palmeiras in February 2025. In his debut season with the Verdão, the young attacker netted 20 goals. Throughout the 2026 campaign, he has contributed nine goals across 39 appearances.
