Vitor Roque’s Revival: From Barcelona Struggles to Palmeiras Hero
Roque’s journey has been anything but simple. After his €30m transfer to Barcelona in 2024, he struggled for playing time, managing only 16 appearances and 2 goals before a loan to Real Betis.
In 2025, a €25.5m move to Palmeiras gave him a fresh start — and he has seized it. His explosive performances, capped by his recent hat-trick, show why he was once tipped as one of football’s brightest young forwards.
At just 20, Roque’s story is still unfolding — and Palmeiras might be the perfect stage for him to unlock his true potential.
