According to GOAL reports, Premier League teams such as Chelsea and Tottenham are paying attention to the situation of Brazilian forward Vito Roque.

The report stated that Roque's good form in Palmeiras attracted the attention of English football. According to GOAL, some teams have made informal inquiries to the player's entourage, and Tottenham and Chelsea are paying close attention to the player's recovery in Brazil.

The two teams are considering making an offer for the striker in the next transfer window. Palmeiras do not want to sell the player, who is considered a key figure in the tactical system of coach Abel Ferreira.

Roque himself believes that a transfer in the next transfer window will not benefit him because he is eager to participate in the World Cup and believes that leaving Palmeiras and returning to the European competition will require an adaptation period, which may have a negative impact on his bid for a World Cup ticket.

Roque has played 46 games in a Palmeiras jersey this season and scored 17 goals. If he scores 4 more goals, the forward can equal the number of goals he scored in 2023 when wearing the Atlético Parana jersey. At that time, Roque attracted the attention of world football with his outstanding performance and was signed by Barcelona.

In addition to scoring goals, Roque is regarded as a key player under Abel Ferreira. His speed and strength allow him to help the team without the ball.

Roque was signed by Barcelona for a fixed transfer fee of 40 million euros. The total cost of this transfer transaction may exceed 70 million euros, so there will be an additional 21 million euros in bonuses if certain goals are achieved. In addition, Barcelona also borne approximately 13 million euros in tax costs.

Due to his failure to adapt to Barcelona, ​​Roque was subsequently loaned to Real Betis, and then returned to Brazil to play for Palmeiras. Palmeiras paid 25 million euros for it, and the total transaction price may reach 30 million euros after certain targets are achieved.

Recently, a study released by the Center for International Sports Studies (CIES) pointed out that at present, the reasonable transfer price of this striker should be between 66 million and 77 million euros.
