Arsenal and Chelsea overtake Barca in negotiations for Vitor Roque

Vitor Roque's breakthrough in Brazilian football has attracted the interest of Europe's top clubs. Thanks to his good performances for the U20 national team and Athletico Paranaense, the 18-year-old striker became a priority for several teams.

For example, Barcelona is one of those who have already had meetings with the player's entourage and started negotiations to try to sign him for next season. However, everything seems to indicate that his future will be in the Premier League.

As reported by 'Teamtalk', Arsenal and Chelsea have overtaken the Catalan side and made good progress in talks. The two sides have made further moves in the last few hours and have even agreed on the player's salary.

Meanwhile, Athletico Paranaense are hoping to make the biggest sale in their history with Vitor Roque's transfer. The player has a 100-million termination clause, but it is expected that his transfer could cost around 40 million.

We will have to see what happens in the next market, but what is certain is that the young striker could follow in the footsteps of some compatriots, such as Roberto Firmino and Richarlison, who are excelling in the English league.
