Vitor Roque’s Revival: From Barcelona Struggles to Palmeiras Hat-Trick Hero
Vitor Roque’s journey has been anything but straightforward. After sealing a high-profile €30 million move to Barcelona in 2024 from Athletico Paranaense, the young striker found minutes hard to come by. He managed just 16 appearances and 2 goals for the Catalan giants before being loaned out to Real Betis for a season.
In 2025, Roque made a permanent switch to Palmeiras for €25.5 million — a move that now looks inspired. While his spell in Europe failed to ignite, his explosive form in Brazil tells a different story. With a recent hat-trick against Internacional and a tally of 6 goals and 4 assists in his last 7 matches, Roque is proving why so many once tipped him as one of football’s brightest prospects.
His resurgence is a reminder that careers rarely follow a straight path. At only 20 years old, Roque’s story is just beginning — and Palmeiras may be the perfect stage for him to unlock his full potential.
