Regarded as one particular of the major prospects in Brazil, Estevao is also on the radar of Barcelona, but resources with a close comprehension of the present situation have knowledgeable CaughtOffside that Chelsea are foremost the race for his signature.
As of now, the Blues are the club understood to have taken the most concrete actions above signing Estevao, with negotiations ongoing in excess of the composition of payment terms to Palmeiras, with his €60m release clause getting employed as a baseline for negotiations. This is probably unsurprisingly wanting way too costly for Barcelona, who have perfectly observed Economical Fair Participate in worries at the instant.

We are also very likely to see outgoings this January, nonetheless, with Armando Broja perhaps set to go away in the next handful of times, CaughtOffside understands.
While Broja’s value is only close to €27m – lessen than the £35m that other sources have claimed – it continue to would seem this is proving as well costly for a number of clubs, although some desire from each West Ham and Inter Milan stays.
Trevoh Chalobah’s long term has nonetheless not been resolved, but it now looks significantly possible that his get better from a modern damage could indicate an exit from Chelsea is delayed right up until the summertime. Fulham, West Ham and Crystal Palace are monitoring Chalobah, but as factors stand it appears to be most of the fascination is in a bank loan, although Chelsea would like a long-lasting sale.
