Mundo Deportivo reported that Manchester United would be willing to pay 50 million euros for Vitor Roque. The report added that 20 percent of this amount, which is 10 million euros, would go to Barcelona, who previously sold the player at a loss. Manchester United is described as the club courting the player most determinedly among European clubs.

According to ESPN, Manchester United is reportedly interested in Vitor Roque, a 20-year-old Brazilian striker who plays for Palmeiras. The English club is looking for a forward for the first half of 2026. The search is partly motivated by Benjamin Sesko not having performed impressively since his arrival. ESPN's reporting indicates that the current United manager, Ruben Amorim, previously attempted to sign Roque for Sporting when the player was at Barcelona; however, the negotiations were unsuccessful. While there is interest, it is not certain that an official offer will be made to Palmeiras. The Brazilian club is currently not considering selling the player, and Roque is focused on winning titles with his current team, though he is not ruling out a future return to Europe. Roque, who has one cap for Brazil, joined Palmeiras in February 2025 and is under contract until the end of 2029. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €20.00m. Other Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, have also been recently linked with the forward.
