Unai Emery open to letting Chelsea target Jhon Duran leave Aston Villa.
Chelsea will be on their way to landing one of the brightest young talents in football as they continue to pursue Palmeiras sensation Estevao Willian. One of the advantages of his pursuit is that the forward has agreed to personal terms to join the Blues.
And now, as per Fabrizio Romano on C, the West Londoners have upgraded their price to a €65 million package, with add-ons included, after their initial deal of €32 million plus €25 million add-ons was turned down by the Brazilian club.
The Blues are pushing for his signing, and their new deal should convince the other party to reach an agreement, as Chelsea will finally be able to land the 17-year-old star, who has become one of the most highly-rated players at the Brazilian club.
Estevao’s potential has attracted interest from top European clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but both have reportedly withdrawn from the race, leaving Chelsea in pole position to secure his signature. The Blues are keen to finalize the deal swiftly, with fans eagerly awaiting confirmation from renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano’s signature “here we go” announcement.
Should the deal go through, Chelsea will acquire a highly talented prospect with the potential to become the next Brazilian superstar in football, following in the footsteps of legends like Neymar. While Willian will need to wait until he turns 18 next season to officially join the Blues, anticipation among Chelsea supporters is already sky-high for his arrival.
Chelsea’s pursuit of Willian aligns with their ongoing recruitment strategy focused on acquiring top young talents from South America. If the deal materializes, Willian would join the ranks of Kendry Paez, another highly talented prospect who has already begun to make a name for himself in the world of football. With this approach, Chelsea aims to build a formidable squad for both the present and the future, ensuring a steady influx of promising talent to bolster their ranks.
With Chelsea offering a higher price, it’s probable that the Brazilian clubs will strike a deal. Palmeiras, in particular, stands to benefit significantly from Willian’s departure and is likely to find the offer too good to refuse. As negotiations progress, Chelsea’s determination to secure Willian’s services could tip the scales in their favor, paving the way for the talented youngster to make his mark in Europe.
