Manchester United’s interest in Vitor Roque may provide Barcelona with the money they need to finalize Marcus Rashford’s loan.
Barcelona may be able to sign Marcus Rashford on a long-term contract this summer thanks to Manchester United’s recent transfer interest.
The 28-year-old was put available for transfer by United and signed a season-long loan to the Spanish powerhouses. Rashford briefly went on loan to Aston Villa last season as a result of mounting hostility between him and new manager Ruben Amorim.
Clubs are already being connected to fresh targets as the winter transfer window approaches, and United hasn’t been overlooked.
Vitor Roque, a 20-year-old Brazilian international who has been “reborn” in Brazil, is apparently of interest to Amorim’s team, who are supposedly eager to add a new striker.

Even other club legends don’t recognize the Manchester United hero since he has changed so much.
In February, Palmeiras paid approximately £22 million to acquire Roque from Barcelona, which was the highest transfer fee ever paid in South American football history.
After struggling to make an impression at Barcelona, where he only scored twice in 16 games, Roque has rapidly rekindled his career in Palmeiras, where he has already scored 17 goals and provided five assists in his debut season.
Now, the striker wants to guarantee a spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil team before the World Cup the following year.
Roque is eager to stay in Brazil until June, so if United is serious about signing him, they could have to wait until the summer. The Spanish publication Sport then asserts that he “would be open to a new adventure.”
Any possible agreement between United and Roque would be heavily influenced by Barcelona’s 20% sell-on clause. This implies that Barcelona would get £10 million from the transfer if Amorim’s team were to acquire Roque for £50 million.
The La Liga powerhouses might possibly be able to afford a permanent move for Rashford with the help of this windfall. Barcelona has a £28 million option-to-buy clause, but they are not required to exercise it.
Additionally, a new striker would provide competition for Benjamin Sesko, who has only scored twice in his first 11 Premier League games and has struggled to make an impression.
