Estevao Willian Set to Join Chelsea This Summer Amid International Duty with Brazil

Estevao Willian, the highly rated Brazilian forward, is set to officially join Chelsea this summer from Palmeiras.

The 17-year-old, currently on international duty with Brazil, recently shared a message as he continues his efforts to help his country secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

Chelsea secured Estevao’s signature last summer in a deal worth an initial £29 million, with additional performance-related bonuses. However, he has remained at Palmeiras, where he has made 59 appearances, scoring 20 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions.

His standout performances earned him a call-up to Brazil’s senior squad for the first time last year, and he remains part of the national team setup. However, he was an unused substitute in Brazil’s recent 2-1 victory over Colombia on Friday.

As he prepares for his move to Stamford Bridge in July, Chelsea fans will be eager to see how the young forward adapts to European football and contributes to the club’s future ambitions.

With Chelsea undergoing a squad rebuild under new manager Enzo Maresca, Estevao’s arrival adds another exciting young talent to the Blues’ ranks. The club views him as a key part of their long-term project, hoping he can replicate his Palmeiras success in the Premier League. As his move approaches, all eyes will be on his development and potential impact at Stamford Bridge.
