In February of this year, Barcelona sold striker Vitor Roque back to Palmeiras as part of a deal that broke the South American transfer record. The 20-year-old player struggled during his time in Spanish football and the club ultimately decided it would be better to cut their losses, as Roque was not seen as Robert Lewandowski's successor.
Whilst Barcelona do not intend to bring their former player back, they will closely monitor whether his move to England materialises in 2026. As part of the agreement with Palmeiras, the club retained a clause that gives them entitlement to 20 percent of any future sale. This means that if Roque were to move to Manchester United for €50m, Barcelona would receive €10m.

Vitor Roque joined Barcelona in 2024 from Brazilian club Athletico-PR for €30m (£26m). That same year, however, he went on loan to Real Betis, where he also failed to settle and returned to Brazil as early as February 2025. The value of the still only 20-year-old player is €20m (£17,5m) Perhaps he is now finally ready to shine in Europe.
