In an interview with footballwave in October, Estevao revealed that it was his dream to join Barcelona. Brazilian wonderkid wants Barcelona move despite Man Utd & Arsenal interest.
Brazilian sensation Estevao Willian, of Palmeiras, is keen to sign with Barcelona despite the current financial issues at Camp Nou.
Estevao, nicknamed Messinho for his uncanny resemblance to Lionel Messi, stands out as one of the most promising young talents globally, drawing interest from major European clubs. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain have all expressed keen interest in securing the 16-year-old’s signature, recognizing his potential as Brazil’s next football sensation.
In an interview with Mundo Deportivo in October, Estevao expressed his aspiration to join Barcelona, firmly holding onto his dream of making the switch to the Spanish giants in 2024. However, Palmeiras is now pressuring Estevao to decide his future club, aiming for another substantial transfer following Endrick’s impending move to Real Madrid.
Although Estevao aims to unite with Barcelona, he remains bound to Brazil until 2025 when he reaches 18 years old. Palmeiras, similar to the pre-arranged agreement facilitating Endrick’s move to Real Madrid, desires to ensure Estevao’s smooth transition to his next destination.
Andre Cury, Estevao’s agent, plans to visit Barcelona soon, coinciding with his representation of Vitor Roque, who is set to join the Blaugrana in January. Cury intends to explore the prospect of Estevao joining Roque at Camp Nou in 2025, as reported by Mundo Deportivo. The financial feasibility of Estevao’s move to Barcelona remains uncertain, yet the young prodigy is resolute in his desire to join, despite competition from Lamine Yamal, a fellow emerging talent in his position.
Despite having only made a solitary appearance for Palmeiras’ senior team – debuting as a substitute against Cruzeiro in the final Brazilian top-flight game of 2023 – Estevao is anticipated to assume a more prominent role in the upcoming year. His growth and potential are eagerly anticipated, hinting at a more significant involvement on the field.
