Chelsea are keen on signing Estevao Willian from Palmeiras, and they have now verbally agreed personal terms with the 17-year-old.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have verbally reached an agreement on personal terms with Estevao Willian, and they are now expected to submit an offer to Palmeiras. The Blues are expected to offer €32 million for the 17-year-old winger, and it will be interesting to see if Palmeiras are ready to sanction his departure. He is highly rated in South America and has a bright future ahead of himself.
Chelsea would do well to secure his services. The 17-year-old could develop into an important player for them in the long run. The Blues have looked toothless in the attack this season, and they need to bring in quality attackers in the summer transfer window. Although the 17-year-old is a long-term prospect, he has the ability to influence the Chelsea attacking unit in the short term as well.
Estevao will be excited to join Chelsea
The opportunity to showcase is qualities in the Premier League will be quite attractive for the player, and he will be tempted to join the blues. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have the financial resources to tempt Palmeiras into selling the player.
The winger has been linked with Spanish giants Barcelona as well. But the Blaugrana are going through financial difficulties, and they might not be able to compete with the Premier League club financially. Chelsea are well placed to secure his signature this summer, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The West London club are looking to put together a formidable squad for the future, and it is no surprise that they have agreed personal terms with one of the best young players in South America right now. They will hope to bring him in and help him develop further.
If he can fulfil his tremendous potential with Chelsea in the coming seasons, the €32 million outlay could look like a major bargain in the long run. Chelsea have already invested in a number of talented young players from South America in recent months, and it seems that they are looking to add Estevao Willian to the pool of young talent at the club.
