A big story circulating yesterday was about Chelsea being confident of signing Palmeiras wonderkid Estevao Willian. My understanding is that talks have been taking place since January - initial discussions, with Chelsea interested and very keen. Nothing is done yet also because Palmeiras are still waiting for an official bid but interest is concrete.
Chelsea have always had a habit of picking up young and talented individuals, but under Todd Boehly, it has gone up to unprecedented levels. Over the last two summer transfer windows, Chelsea spent hundreds of millions recruiting some of the most sought-after young talents around Europe.
Palmeiras keep producing 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. Nicknamed Messinho', he's surely rated among the best talents in South America.
According to a report from Goal Brasil, Chelsea are not the only team keeping tabs on 17-year-old Palmeiras attacker Messinho. Real Madrid who have had a lot of success signing top talents from Brazil in recent years have reportedly inquired about him while their arch-rivals Barcelona are also monitoring his situation.
