Chelsea Move for Palmeiras Forward Vitor Roque

By Emmanuel Austin Baah On Dec 26, 2025

Chelsea are reportedly working on a deal to sign highly rated Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque, according to Sky Sports.

The Premier League side are understood to be exploring the framework of a potential transfer as they continue to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the upcoming window. Roque, who has impressed with his pace, movement and eye for goal in Brazilian football, is regarded as one of South America’s most promising young forwards.

Although no agreement has been finalised, sources indicate that preliminary discussions are ongoing, with Chelsea monitoring the situation closely as they assess the financial and contractual details involved. Palmeiras, for their part, are expected to demand a significant fee for the 19-year-old, given his growing reputation and long-term potential.

Further developments are anticipated in the coming days as Chelsea push to advance negotiations.
