Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira urged Estêvão to showcase his talent in the upcoming match against Chelsea in the Club World Cup. The young winger is set to join Chelsea in July after being signed for €34 million with potential add-ons. Ferreira acknowledged the emotional challenges Estêvão faces, encouraging him to fulfill his responsibilities to Palmeiras before his transfer. Estêvão noted the difficulty of managing his emotions during this transition. The young talent has yet to contribute goals or assists in the tournament but remains a focal point for the match against Chelsea.
"While he's with us, he has tasks and commitments to fulfill. After that, he'll be free to return to Chelsea. Until then, he'll give his best, and there's no better way to say goodbye than by helping us in this World Cup."
"It's been hard balancing the emotions of playing my final games for Palmeiras while also thinking about my future at Chelsea."
