Vitor Roque’s agent has confirmed interest from Everton in the striker ahead of the January transfer window.

The Brazilian forward has been earning admiring glances from Europe after impressing for the Brazilian side since returning in 2025.

The Premier League is particularly interested, with Everton having emerged as suitors over the last few weeks.

Sport Witness reported that the Blues were eyeing up a potential move for next year, with Palmeiras setting a €50m price tag on the 21-year-old. We then detailed what the player could potentially bring to Everton’s squad.

Agent speaks

Bolavip now report that the striker’s agent, André Cury, has now confirmed Everton’s growing interest in his client.

They report that the European market is beginning to ramp up its pursuit of Vitor Roque, leading them to contact Cury for comment.

When they got in touch with him, Cury confirmed the interest from Everton and then elaborated on the forwards’ future – “There are many clubs in Europe interested in Vitor.”

Bolavip state that this statement reinforces the likelihood of a competitive scramble for the 21-year-old during the January transfer window. In addition to Everton, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are also tracking the striker. All four clubs are in contact with his camp.

Palmeiras are staying quiet on the matter. But they don’t intent to make a potential departure for ‘Tigrinho’ easy. Bolavip confirm that the €50m asking price is in place. Palmeiras are also secure because his current deal with the club runs until 2029. That provides them with a strong negotiating position for January at least.

One key element will be the distribution of the striker’s rights. Palmeiras currently own 80% while Barcelona retained a 20% stake in him when selling last year. So, the Brazilian club will push for as big a fee as possible because of that.

Everton situation

The question for Everton is how much they want to spend. They were going to spend €40m plus on Folarin Balogun at the end of the summer transfer window.

But it remains to be seen if the money is still there to be spent in January after the Friedkins pulled funding late in the window.

They are seemingly reluctant to spend too heavily, although the American owners have insisted that Moyes will be backed in January regardless of their intentions to sell up.

There is also Thierno Barry to consider. He is currently impressing as the sole striker, and the question is whether Everton want to spend big on another striker in January or look at cheaper options just to support him instead.
