Personal terms agreed & bid improved as Chelsea in “control” to sign 55m attacker 

According to Fabrizio Romano on his official X account, Chelsea feels in control of the transfer of Palmeiras wonderkid Estevao Willian.

The Brazilian forward is currently one of the most intriguing young players in international football, and if things go well for the Blues, it appears that Stamford Bridge may be his next stop.

See below for information from Romano as he downplays any connections to Bayern Munich. He says Chelsea is optimistic about the Estevao deal, having reached a personal agreement with the player last week and reportedly working on an improved bid for his club.

Chelsea have a number of top young talents on their books at the moment, such as Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer and Malo Gusto, while Kendry Paez is also another wonderkid who’ll be on his way to the west London club in the not-too-distant future.

Estevao would be another superb purchase to help build one of the most promising squads in world football, but some CFC fans will also no doubt be hoping to see one or two more experienced players joining the club as well.

Estevao transfer: Chelsea continue youth policy, but do they need to mix it up more?
Chelsea can, in many ways, be admired for trying to build a long-term project built around the best young players, rather than chasing ready-made superstars as they did for so much of the Roman Abramovich era.

Still, the Blues’ habit of big spending and frequently changing managers actually served them very well for the last two decades or so, and fans have come to expect certain standards from this team.

At the moment, the long-term project is not really bearing fruit, so it remains to be seen if Chelsea should continue in this direction or try being a bit more flexible, blending youth and experience a bit more than they have.

Estevao could be great in a few years’ time, but Chelsea also need success now, and their transfer targets should go some way to helping deliver that.
