Arsenal and Chelsea remain interested in Athletico Paranaense’s 18-year-old Vitor Roque, who is also being pursued by Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Athletico Paranaense’s young striker Vitor Roque is still weighing his options regarding his next move, with Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly still in contention for his signature.
Despite some earlier reports linking Roque with a move to Barcelona, the 18-year-old’s father recently posted on Instagram from London, hinting that his son might be considering a move to the English Premier League.
Roque is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Brazilian football and has attracted interest from a number of top European clubs, including Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. In a recent interview, Roque admitted that it would be a dream to play for the Catalan giants, citing their history of giving young players a chance.
“I know that Barcelona is interested and so are other clubs. It’s a dream. But not just for Barça, but for European clubs. Every child has this dream”
“Barça is a club that always gives the youth players a chance. They are different”.
However, with his father set to speak with representatives from a number of clubs, including Barcelona and PSG, it remains to be seen where Roque will end up. The talented striker is likely to have a big future in the game, and it will be intriguing to see where he ultimately decides to ply his trade.
