From the source
Everton have expressed interest in signing exciting Brazilian international centre-forward Vitor Roque from Palmeiras in 2027, according to Brazilian journalist Diego Firmino, as relayed by Sport Witness.
After spells with América-MG and Cruzeiro at youth level, Roque came to the limelight after joining Athletico Paranaense in 2022. He netted 22 goals for the Furacão, which drew keen interest from several top European clubs, before opting to join Barcelona in January 2024.
However, things did not go as planned, as he struggled for regular game time before being loaned out to Real Betis. Despite his nine goal contributions, there were expectations that the Andalusian club would make his move permanent or that Barcelona would integrate him into their first-team squad.
