The transfer of young Estêvão from Palm trees for the Chelsea is close to being completed, sources close to the attacker told AFP this Thursday.
Teammate of Endrick, Brazilian football’s current jewel and future Real Madrid player, Estevão is also considered a great promise and his signing is being sought after by several European clubs.
In recent days, the press has anticipated that Chelsea is the team best positioned to sign the striker. “The signing is advanced and well underway”, explained people from Estêvão’s environment who are directly involved in the negotiations between the two clubs.

Estêvão has a termination clause of 45 million euros (around R$250 million at the current price), with Palmeiras keeping 70% of his rights, while the player and his agents keep the remaining 30%.
Like Endrick, the young striker will not be able to play outside of Brazil until he turns 18, on April 24, 2025. Estêvão debuted this year in Palmeiras’ main team, for which he has already played 13 matches between Libertadores, Campeonato Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil and Campeonato Paulista, and scored three goals.
In turn, Endrick will arrive in July at Real Madrid, which paid at least US$ 65 million in bonuses (R$ 334 million reais at the current price) to have the number 9.
