Barcelona striker Vitor Roque is reportedly closing in on a move to the Premier League after being deemed surplus to requirements by Hansi Flick.
Vitor Roque reportedly has no future at Barcelona and the club are willing to let him go before the end of the current window.
The Blaugrana have no interest in registering the striker which has put several European clubs on high alert.

Vitor Roque to leave Barcelona?
However, according to MARCA, Everton are currently the frontrunners to secure Roque's signature this summer.
The Premier League club's interest is heightened by their lack of a traditional number nine, particularly with Dominic Calvert-Lewin rumored to be leaving Goodison Park.
Spanish clubs, including Real Betis, face challenges in signing Roque due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, giving Everton a distinct advantage in the pursuit of the Barcelona forward.
As the transfer window ticks down, Everton's position as the leading contender to sign Vitor Roque is becoming increasingly clear.
