Estevao Willian is recognized as one of the most promising young talents in football today. This Brazilian prodigy is even considered a bigger prospect than Endrick, who currently plays for Real Madrid.
The Palmeiras youth product enjoyed an outstanding season, showcasing his immense potential. At just 17 years old, Estevao has already earned four caps for Brazil’s senior national team and appears destined for a stellar career.
This summer, he will join Chelsea, after the club emerged victorious in a fierce competition for his signature. Palmeiras agreed to a transfer fee of 34 million euros, which could increase significantly if certain conditions are met.
The young player will move to London only after the Club World Cup. Estevao’s agent is confident that he will have a remarkable career at Chelsea.
The agent also revealed that both Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich were heavily interested in signing him as well. This highlights the level of talent that Brazil has produced in Estevao.
For some time now, the Blues have completely revamped their transfer strategy. They are focusing on acquiring young talents, nurturing their development, and potentially selling them without financial losses if things don’t work out.
The new year marked the beginning of the season in Brazil. Over the course of 21 matches, Estevao accumulated six goals and an assist.
