Man Utd, Chelsea target Roque admits Europe return plans

Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque admits he sees his future back in Europe.

The young centre-forward, after a disappointing spell with Barcelona, has rebuilt his career with Palmeiras this year.

Roque is now attracting interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, with agent Andre Cury admitting a Premier League move could be on in 2026.

He told AS: “I went to Europe very early. I learned a lot from my experience. Similarly, returning to Brazilian football isn't a step backward, quite the opposite.

"Sometimes you have to take a step back to take two steps forward. Luiz Henrique is also proof of this; he returned and won titles with Botafogo. I hope to follow the same path: return and win titles.”

Furthermore, Roque himself wanted to reaffirm his commitment, stating: “It’s also a dream to return to Europe and adapt. God willing, I’ll continue doing my job at Palmeiras, because that’s my goal today, and in the future I’ll return to Europe.”
