Chelsea just keeps spending – 64 million for a 17-year old kid

Chelsea might not know what to do with the multitude of young players that Todd Boehly and his associates have accumulated over the past two years, but they do know what they want – to bring in even more. The renowned Brazilian website Globo Esporte has dropped a transfer bombshell, revealing that Chelsea has agreed on all terms to purchase the new Brazilian wonderkid. Estevao is a 17-year-old right-winger from Palmeiras who can also play behind the striker but primarily operates on the right flank. He is considered one of the most talented footballers in the world, not just in his generation but overall at this moment.Estêvão Willian in Chelsea Blue is going to be a JOY to watch. pic.twitter.com/33k4VacUqR— ~ (@CFCdruw) June 15, 2024 Globo reports that Estevao passed medical examinations in São Paulo under the watchful eyes of representatives from Chelsea and Palmeiras, after which the two sides completed all the paperwork. The negotiations were closed at 64,000,000 milion euros. Chelsea will pay 40,000,000 upfront, plus an additional 20,000,000 in easily attainable bonuses, and another 4,000,000 through more challenging add-ons. Since he is not yet of legal age, Estevao could theoretically move to England once he turns 18 in April next year. However, the two clubs have meanwhile reached an agreement that the young Brazilian will move to Stamford Bridge only after the Club World Cup, which will be played in a new format during June and July 2025.Nigeria eligible Adarabioyo officially joins ChelseaWhile waiting for the official announcement from the clubs, the transfer can be considered complete.

In his first professional season, Estevao showed exceptional quality, having scored three goals and provided three assists in 21 matches, 11 of which he started.##NAJAVA_MECA_8161515##
