Manchester United is reportedly competing with Paris Saint-Germain for the signing of Brazilian youngster Vitor Roque.
According to an Italian publication, Gazzetta Dello Sport, United must act quickly because PSG is preparing an ‘assault’ on Athletico Paranaense for the youngster’s signature.
It is suggested that he has a €60 million release clause inserted into his contract, although it is not made clear whether Athletico Paranaense would be prepared to accept less than that for the talented teenager.
He is such an exciting young talent, and it’s little wonder why he has clubs such as Man United and PSG interested in signing him.
It seems as though Erik ten Hag will have to act quickly if he wants to bring the South American sensation to Old Trafford…
Manchester United eyeing Vitor Roque swoop
GDS reckon that the Red Devils have the Athletico Paranaense starlet on their radar this month. And what an incredibly exciting addition he would be to Ten Hag’s ranks.
Football Talent Scout describes Roque as a ‘sensational talent, and they’re not wrong. What a player the 17-year-old is.
He can play on either wing or as a center-forward, and he has already racked up a respectable 13 goals and four assists in 52 senior appearances. He possesses pace and technical ability in abundance and is surprisingly strong and robust for someone so young.
Roque possesses the quintessential South American tenacity, and it is this aspect of his game that distinguishes him as such a well-rounded player. It should be noted that €60 million is clearly a lot of money for someone so young and unproven in the Premier League.
However, I am convinced that Vitor Roque is well worth that fee for Manchester United. However, whether the Red Devils can outbid PSG for his signature remains to be seen.
