Agent confirms forward awaiting €50m move that could earn Barcelona €10m | OneFootball

Vitor Roque’s chapter at Barcelona may have ended on a disappointing note, but his name continues to echo around the club’s corridors. 

Despite his short and unfulfilled spell in Catalonia, the young striker’s resurgence back home in Brazil is beginning to generate fresh excitement and, unexpectedly, potential benefits for the Blaugrana.

Now at Palmeiras, Roque has rediscovered the confidence and form that made him one of the most promising forwards of his generation. 

His performances have not gone unnoticed, with several European clubs already circling. 

In fact, his agent, Andre Cury, recently confirmed that concrete interest is emerging:

“We already had an offer from the Arab world of €35 million, which we were not interested in.

“We are now waiting to receive a proposal of around €50 million from the Premier League,” he told Globoesporte (h/t SPORT).

Man United are interested

According to reports, Manchester United have taken the lead in monitoring his situation, sending scouts to watch him in action. Both Chelsea and West Ham are also keeping a close eye on developments.

Cury himself acknowledges that Palmeiras has provided the perfect platform for Roque to recover his rhythm and confidence, but hinted that a move could soon follow.

“The plan was to return here, regain strength and also study the market. 

“If a good offer comes for everyone and they understand that he has to leave, he is willing to listen, but he is very happy at Palmeiras. 

“Now the goal is to try to win the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores.”

How much would Barcelona earn?

Barcelona, who sold Roque to Palmeiras earlier this year for €25.5 million plus variables, cleverly retained 20% of his future transfer rights. 

That means the Catalan club stand to earn a significant windfall should his expected move materialise.

If the Brazilian forward is sold for around €50 million, Barça would pocket an additional €10 million. 

Moreover, the club could earn a further €1 million this month if Palmeiras lift the Copa Libertadores, turning what was once viewed as a failed transfer into a quietly lucrative deal.
