Vitor Roque, who struggled during his time at Barcelona, has found good form with Palmeiras, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist in 13 matches during the 2025/26 season. In February 2025, he was sold to the Brazilian club for €25.5 million plus variables, while Barcelona retained 20% of his future transfer rights.
Chelsea is reportedly preparing a substantial offer near €50 million for the striker’s transfer in summer 2026. Palmeiras considers this amount insufficient for one of their key players and hopes for a higher fee. The agreement stipulates that if Roque is sold for more than €40 million, Barcelona will receive 20% of the transfer fee. In case of a €50 million deal, this would yield around €10 million for Barcelona.
Such additional income could provide a welcome boost to Barcelona’s efforts to improve their financial fair play status. Roque’s resurgence in Palmeiras after a disappointing spell at Barcelona raises the chances for a profitable transfer and his return to European football.
Therefore, the potential sale of Vitor Roque is both a sporting and financial opportunity for Barcelona.
There is insufficient information about the exact timing and negotiation details between clubs.
