Manchester United monitors Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque for potential transfer

Manchester United is monitoring 21-year-old Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque as a potential candidate for a future attacking signing. The Premier League club, along with Chelsea, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Atlético Madrid, is tracking the Brazilian forward. Palmeiras has reportedly set a valuation of between 50 and 60 million euros for the player, who returned to Brazil following a loan spell at Real Betis. Although no official offers have been made, agents are reportedly exploring options for a potential return to European football. Roque has recorded seven goals and two assists in 31 appearances this season for the Brazilian side. Manchester United has not added to their attacking lineup since the end of the summer and may look to address this in the upcoming January transfer window.
