According to the latest news from well-known journalist Romano
Chelsea
The soccer club has made an official €65 million offer to Brazilian soccer club Palmeiras for 17-year-old Brazilian winger
Estevao
(Messineo).
Romano revealed on social media that Chelsea's initial offer of €32 million plus a €25 million floating clause had been rejected by the Palmeiras side. Subsequently, Chelsea quickly adjusted their strategy and submitted a new offer, which was raised to a total of 65 million euros, including a fixed transfer fee and a floating clause. It is reported that Chelsea had already agreed on a personal contract with Estevao two weeks ago.
Estevao is a highly promising young player who has performed well in 17 games for Palmeiras' first team, contributing 3 goals and 1 assist. His main positions are winger and attacking midfielder. With his excellent technical ability and attacking sense, he has already attracted the attention of several European giants.
Chelsea's interest in Estevao stems from the club's plans to build for the future. In recent years, Chelsea has been committed to bringing in young and talented players in order to build a competitive team in the coming years. The addition of Estevao will undoubtedly inject new vitality into Chelsea's attacking line, and is also in line with the club's youthful development strategy.
Palmeiras side is open to Estevao's departure, but at the same time hope to get a reasonable transfer fee. The two sides are currently negotiating on the specific details of the transfer and hope to reach a consensus as soon as possible.
If the deal goes through, Estevao will become one of the highest transfer fees for a young player in Chelsea's history. His signing will lay a solid foundation for Chelsea's future and signal the club's ambitions in the transfer market.
