Chelsea FC has secured a deal worth £32 million, plus add-ons, for the Brazilian prodigy Willian Estevao. The transfer was announced by the renowned transfer market guru, Fabrizio Romano, and confirmed by all parties involved – Chelsea, Estevao’s agent, and his club Palmeiras. This move is a significant coup for the Blues, as they managed to steal the 17-year-old maestro right from under the noses of Barcelona, who were also vying to sign the player.
At just 17 years old, Willian Estevao has been making waves in the football world, hailed as the best player in the world for his age. While it remains to be seen whether he will immediately claim a spot in Chelsea’s starting XI, reports suggest he possesses the talent to nail down a first-team shirt. Yes, he’s that good.
A Versatile and Dynamic Talent
Why is this kid so special? Versatile and dynamic, Estevao can play anywhere up front. If his development is managed properly, Chelsea could have a Ronaldo-like player on their hands – or perhaps even better, if the hype surrounding him is accurate.
Willian’s youth career began at Cruzeiro in 2017, the same club that famously launched Ronaldo into the stratosphere. From a tender age, hype has followed Estevao at every turn. In 2018, when he was just 10 years old, the buzz surrounding this young winger was unparalleled.
Youngest Brazilian to Sign with Nike
In 2019, at the age of 11, Estevao achieved a remarkable feat by signing a sponsorship deal with Nike, making him the youngest Brazilian to ink a contract with the sportswear giants, surpassing even Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.
In 2021, Palmeiras managed to snatch Willian from their rivals, securing him on a trainee contract. His impact on their youth teams was immediate and remarkable. During the 2022 season, he helped Palmeiras’ youth squads claim multiple titles, including the Campeonato Paulista Sub-17, Campeonato Paulista Sub-15, Copa do Brasil Sub-17, and Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-17.
