Vitor Roque has found in Palmeiras the ideal context to demonstrate that his departure from FC Barcelona was a hasty decision. The Brazilian forward is going through the best moment of his short career, and his sporting explosion has not gone unnoticed in Europe.

The return to Brazil was a turning point for Vitor Roque, who needed continuity, confidence, and a favorable environment. In Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras, he has had all that and more, becoming the offensive reference of the project.

Gone are the months of doubt in Barcelona and his inconsistent spell in Heliópolis. Today, Vitor Roque plays freely, with instinct and a maturity beyond his years, leading the 'Verdão' from the front.

Vitor Roque, absolute leader at Palmeiras

The growth of Vitor Roque at Palmeiras has been progressive but resounding. He started the season with some difficulties, still affected by the emotional strain of his European stint but never stopped working.

Abel Ferreira was instrumental in his development. The Portuguese coach backed him even when the goals weren't coming and publicly demanded more presence and determination on the field. The striker's response was immediate. Once he broke the ice, Vitor Roque delivered crucial weeks, closing the season with 20 goals and being the top scorer in the squad.

His impact was decisive in key moments. In the Copa Libertadores, Vitor Roque put in significant performances, including a vital assist in the comeback against Quito in the semifinals. The only regret was the lost final against Flamengo, although even in defeat, his performance was acknowledged as that of a competitive and committed leader.

FC Barcelona, criticized for Vitor Roque's departure

The spectacular performance of Vitor Roque has reignited the debate about his exit from FC Barcelona. In just over a year, his market value has quadrupled. According to specialized estimates, the striker is valued at around 85 million euros, a figure that contrasts with the 25 million Palmeiras paid FC Barcelona for his transfer.

From the player's circle, led by André Cury and Fran Godoy, it has always been argued that continuity was key to his development. At Palmeiras, he has proven this with actions. FC Barcelona now observes how a player who failed to establish himself at Camp Nou has become one of the most sought-after strikers in South American football.

Chelsea enters the scene and prepares an offensive

The level of Vitor Roque has sparked the interest of Chelsea, which is closely monitoring him. The English club is seriously considering making a historic investment to secure his services.

At Stamford Bridge, they value his power, mobility, and ability to decide important matches. Vitor Roque fits the profile of a young and influential striker that Chelsea seeks. Meanwhile, Palmeiras is in no rush. The Brazilian club is enjoying its star player and believes in retaining Vitor Roque at least until the next summer.

Recently called up by the Brazilian national team, the striker is also on Carlo Ancelotti's radar for the 2026 World Cup, a recognition of his unstoppable progression. Vitor Roque is proof that FC Barcelona erred in letting him go. His present and future point towards the elite, and Chelsea is already taking note.
