Chelsea, Barcelona chasing Athletico Paranaense whizkid Vitor Roque

Athletico Paranaense whizkid Vitor Roque is a target for Chelsea.

But the Blues may face a tough task to land the youngster – because he has a staggering €100m buyout clause.

The 17-year-old Roque is one of the hot prospects for the future of Brazilian football alongside Endrick.

Real Madrid pipped the Blues to land 16-year-old Endrick for £60m this week.

But according to AS, Chelsea are leading the charge for Roque from Athletico Paranaense.

However, Paris Saint-Germain are said to be very interested, Barcelona are keen and Real Madrid will also try their luck.

The winger made his debut aged 16 – although he was dragged off after just 18 minutes – before helping Ronaldo’s club Cruzeiro earn promotion to Serie A and then joined Paranaesne in April 2022.

He has racked up seven goals in 36 appearances since the switch.

Roque featured in the Copa Libertadores final – a 1-0 defeat to Flamengo – and is under contract until 2027.
