An exclusive report from transfer specialists on reveals that Chelsea is very interested in signing one of the most talented players in South America.
Chelsea are very keen to seal the transfer of Palmeiras wonderkid Estevao Willian, with talks taking place for some months now, according to transfer news journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Blues are clearly pursuing one of South America’s top talents strongly, according to Romano as he spoke exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, though he also made it clear that no official bids have been made yet, so it’s still some way from being a done deal.
Chelsea have signed a number of the world’s best young players under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali as they move towards a long-term project instead of chasing instant success by signing ready-made superstars as they often did for most of the Roman Abramovich era.
Estevao would be another exciting addition to the CFC squad, so it will be interesting to see if the Brazilian wonderkid decides to make the move to Stamford Bridge or if anyone else comes in with a tempting offer.
Estevao transfer: Chelsea in talks over exciting Brazilian wonderkid
There was a significant rumor going around yesterday that Chelsea was optimistic about the possibility of signing the young talent Estevao Willian from Palmeiras.
It has been my understanding that discussions have been going on since January.
These discussions have been preliminary, and Chelsea has shown a great deal of interest and enthusiasm.
According to Romano, “Palmeiras are still waiting for an official bid, but interest is concrete.” This is another reason why nothing has been done as of yet.
“Palmeiras continues to produce fantastic talents, as we saw with Endrick, who will be joining Real Madrid in the summer, and Estevao is another big prospect for the future,” said the coach.
His nickname is “Messinho,” and he is without a doubt considered to be one of the most talented individuals in South America.
The current method that Chelsea is employing is not really delivering results; therefore, it is not yet clear whether or not supporters of the west London giants will be content with this approach being maintained.
This is the case even though Estevao appears to be an exceptional talent in the same category as someone like Endrick.
