Barcelona are set for a substantial financial boost if Vitor Roque moves from Palmeiras to Manchester United.
According to Sport, United are monitoring the Brazilian player and are preparing a €50 million (£44 million) offer.
Since returning to his home country of Brazil, Roque has been “reborn,” and his exciting performances have made him a target for Ruben Amorim as a striker.
Roque’s “priority” is to complete the season at Palmeiras before finding a “new adventure” the following summer, and United are one of his main admirers.

The report further stated that when Barcelona allowed Roque to join Palmeiras, they added a 20% sell-on clause. Therefore, if he joins United for €50 million, they will get a cool €10 million (£9 million).
Prior to that, if the striker and Palmeiras win the Copa Libertadores, Barcelona could earn €1 million.
Roque Highly Regarded By Man United
The Brazilian is regarded by United as a young, promising centre forward who might challenge Benjamin Sesko for a starting position up front.
Roque’s difficulties at Barcelona, where he scored just two goals in 16 games, don’t seem to have deterred United.
After just eight months with the Barcelona first squad, Roque was loaned to Real Betis before making a record-breaking permanent move to Palmeiras.
He still has plenty of time to reach his full potential because he is only 20 years old. He is currently demonstrating his ability as a goal scorer in South America.
