Roque could join United, says agent

The 21-year-old has attracted considerable attention since returning to Brazilian football, and United are among the clubs exploring the possibility of securing his services. Roque struggled to establish himself at Barcelona but has rebuilt his reputation since joining Palmeiras permanently in January 2025.

His agent, Andre Cury, has confirmed that several European clubs are interested in the striker. Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Everton have also contacted the player’s representatives to discuss a possible transfer.

Palmeiras are understood to value their attacking asset at around €50 million (£42m), which could make negotiations difficult for interested parties.

Manchester United could benefit from adding another centre-forward to their squad, particularly with Benjamin Sesko having struggled with injury problems this season. Roque has the technical ability, mobility and attacking instincts to provide additional competition in the final third, and his experience in European football could prove valuable.

At 21, the Brazilian still has considerable room for development, and a move to Old Trafford could give him the chance to establish himself in the Premier League.
