In the ever-expanding realm of young football prodigies, Chelsea has set its sights on the latest gem – 16-year-old Brazilian sensation Estevão. Born in 2007, this left-footed winger has already made waves at Palmeiras, earning a market value of €10m.                 

Who is Estevão?

Despite his tender age, Estevão has already made a significant impact. His debut for Palmeiras in a title-clinching match against Cruzeiro marked the beginning of what could be a stellar career. With a notable performance at the U17 World Cup and dazzling displays in the 'Copinha,' he's earned the nickname "Messinho."

Chelsea's Pursuit

Reports suggest Chelsea is in the lead to secure Estevão's signature with a rumored €60m release clause. While PSG has stepped back, Manchester United and Bayern Munich linger as potential contenders. However, due to international transfer laws, Estevão wouldn't make the move until he turns 18 in July 2025.

The Potential Next Star

Estevão's style, often compared to the legendary Lionel Messi, has caught the attention of top European clubs. Chelsea, known for nurturing young talent, sees him as the potential next star to grace Stamford Bridge. The West London club's willingness to invest in emerging talents aligns with their successful history of transforming prospects into global football icons.

What's Next?

As the saga unfolds, the football world eagerly anticipates whether Chelsea will successfully add Estevão to their roster, securing the next rising star from the football-rich soils of Brazil. The young prodigy's journey could mark the beginning of a new chapter for both Chelsea and Estevão, promising exciting times for fans and a potential shift in the power dynamics of European football.
