Vitor Roque Nears €25M Transfer to Palmeiras

Vitor Roque is set to finalize his transfer from Barcelona to Palmeiras, with the deal expected to be completed before the Brazilian transfer window closes. The agreement includes a fee of €25 million for 80% of Roque's rights, along with additional compensation to Real Betis for terminating his loan early. Initially, the transfer faced delays due to complexities in Spanish transfer rules regarding returning loan players, but all parties have now aligned. Roque is anticipated to sign a five-year contract with Palmeiras, where he will earn €2.5 million per year. Barcelona benefits from the deal, recovering their investment and easing financial fair play constraints. The young forward's stint in Europe saw limited success, but he is regarded as a promising talent in Brazil.
