Chelsea are preparing a major summer move for Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque, with reports suggesting the Blues are preparing a proposal that could exceed €50m to test the Brazilian club’s resolve.
According to Bolavip , Chelsea have maintained a long-term interest in the 21-year-old and plan to advance negotiations mid-year if Roque continues his impressive form under Abel Ferreira.
Palmeiras see him as a cornerstone and are now demanding more than the €50m figure quoted last year, reinforced by his contract until December 2029 and increased resale value.
Roque has been on fire since joining Palmeiras in March 2025, scoring 25 goals and providing six assists in 68 appearances in all competitions.
This season he has already scored three goals in four league games, displaying the pace, pressing and finishing that make him a player well suited to Chelsea’s youth recruitment model.
Previous talks last year stalled, and while Manchester United and Tottenham showed interest in January, only Chelsea remains visibly linked now for the summer transfer window.
Palmeiras are in no hurry to sell and hope that Roque’s continued performances in major competitions will increase his price even more.
