Chelsea are looking to acquire the services of Brazilian duo Estevao and Luis Guilherme amid interest from Manchester United, Barcelona and Arsenal.
According to a report by TBR Football, Chelsea are once again expected to have a busy transfer window. The Blues will look to reinforce their squad for both the short and long term. They have their eyes on Estevao Willian and Luis Guilherme and are expected to knock on Palmeiras’s door for the signature of the Brazilian duo, who might cost around £80 million.
Chelsea want to sign Estevao Willian and Luis Guilherme
The Blues’ transfer strategy is focused on signing young players who can help them in the long run. They have found two gems in Brazil and want to incorporate them into their ranks. Estevao is a 17-year-old right winger who is enjoying a breakout season for Palmeiras, while Luis Guilherme is an 18-year-old midfield sensation who is already an established starter in the Brazilian club.
The Plameiras youth products have done wonders for the Brazilian club and have also put in impressive performances for the Brazilian youth teams. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed as multiple top clubs want to sign them.
Chelsea are one of the clubs that are keen on having both of them in their ranks. While the Blues did knock on the Brazilian club’s door last summer, they failed to strike a deal back then. However, Chelsea are ready to return for them in the summer, and they are ready to put forward a convincing pitch to lure them to the club.
Guilherme can move to Europe in the summer, but Estevao will have to wait until April 2025 when he turns 18 to complete the move. Despite that, the Blues want to secure the duo’s services as soon as possible. They want to beat the competition to their signature and are in talks over the possible moves.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Barcelona are in the mix
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has been scouted by Arsenal and Manchester United. Both clubs are always on the lookout for players who can help them in the long run, and they feel Guilherme could have a great future. As a result, they are willing to invest in him.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have been watching Estevao closely for a long while. The Catalan giants have shifted their focus towards South America as they look to discover the next big star. They feel the 17-year-old right winger has the potential to be a special player and are keen on his signature.
Amid interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Barcelona, Chelsea are pushing hard to complete the signing of the Palmeiras duo. According to the report, the Brazilian club are looking to make around £50 million from the sale of the duo. But the final fee could be more than £80 million with add-ons included.
