Crystal Palace will reportedly compete with Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United for 19-year-old Barcelona misfit Vitor Roque.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Vitor Roque is the subject of interest from Crystal Palace. The Eagles are scouring the market for a versatile attacker and have set their sights on the Barcelona misfit. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are also keen on signing the teenage prospect, who has been solid thus far for Real Betis during his loan stint.
Vitor Roque and his woes
Vitor Roque has somewhat resurrected his stuttering fortunes since joining Real Betis from FC Barcelona on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window. While the South American attacker has not set the stage alight, he has still managed a solid spell thus far with the Andalusian outfit.
The 19-year-old has chipped in with six goals and two assists in 23 appearances across all competitions thus far for Real Betis this season. Meanwhile, the youngster’s stock in the market remains high, with several Premier League clubs vying for his signature. Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United are among his prospective suitors.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Crystal Palace can do with a versatile attacker amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of Jean-Philippe Mateta. In addition, Eberechi Eze is a target for several Premier League bigwigs. So, the Barcelona misfit has emerged as a viable target for Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Vitor Roque is understandable. Richarlison faces an uncertain future at the North London club amid his struggles this season. So, the Brazilian attacking prospect is an option worth considering for Tottenham heading into the two transfer windows next year.
As for Newcastle United, the Tyneside outfit will likely part ways with Miguel Almiron in the winter transfer window. In addition, Callum Wilson faces an uncertain future at St. James’ Park. So, the Barcelona misfit has emerged as a viable target for Newcastle United.
It will not be surprising to see Barcelona entertaining bids to part ways with the 19-year-old Brazilian attacking prospect in the 2025 summer transfer window. A move to the Premier League might be on the cards for the teenage sensation as he looks to land on his feet.
