Vitor Roque’s Value Rises and His Transfer Fee Reaches $99 Million
Vitor Roque has exploded at Palmeiras, and his market value now approaches $99 million. Idol, top scorer, and star, the Tigre has roared again.
The Tigre roared again and Palmeiras boosted him
Returning home was the right decision. Vitor Roque has undergone a total transformation since coming back to Palmeiras, going from a questioned prospect in Europe to an undisputed figure in Brazilian football. His progress has been steady but decisive: he finished the season as the team’s top scorer and absolute offensive reference.
At Verdão, Roque found what he lacked during his brief European stint: confidence, continuity, and a leading role. Under Abel Ferreira’s guidance, the striker became the focal point of the attack, showing maturity, determination, and consistency that place him among the strongest names on the continent today.
A value that tripled and surprises the market
The numbers are staggering. According to the CIES Football Observatory, Vitor Roque’s market value now approaches $99 million, more than triple the $29 million Palmeiras paid to FC Barcelona just a year ago.
This figure is a direct reflection of his sporting impact, goal-scoring consistency, and influence within the Paulista club’s project. Today, Roque is one of South America’s most valuable assets and also one of the most profitable recent investments in Brazilian football.
Staying to grow: Vitor Roque’s plan
Far from rushing his exit, the player’s team is prioritizing continuity in Brazil, at least until next summer. At Palmeiras, Vitor Roque is an idol, a key figure, and an undisputed starter.
Moreover, the striker has returned to Brazil national team call-ups, a crucial factor with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon. With Carlo Ancelotti monitoring him closely, the goal is to reach the ultimate stage in the right environment, avoiding past mistakes.
Palmeiras, the factory that never stops
Vitor Roque’s case is not isolated. Palmeiras proves once again to be a true talent factory, capable not just of producing players but shaping global-impact stars.
In the same CIES report, Estêvão appears as the most valuable Brazilian player in the market, even above established names.
