Teenage Star Set to Join Premier League Club Despite Barcelona Dreams
Chelsea has announced the signing of Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian, also known as Messinho, from Palmeiras. The highly sought-after teenager, who had previously expressed a desire to play for Barcelona, will now be joining the Premier League giants.
Messinho, regularly linked with a move to the Catalan club, had called it his “biggest dream” to play for Barcelona. However, Chelsea confirmed on their official website that Messinho will arrive next summer.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Messinho has signed a contract that runs until 2033, with Chelsea paying around €60 million for the talented youngster.
The hefty price tag is believed to be a significant factor in Barcelona’s inability to secure Messinho. His agent, Andre Cury, has frequently praised Messinho, comparing him to football legends Lionel Messi and Neymar, and had publicly encouraged Barcelona to sign him.
Despite these efforts, Messinho will be wearing Chelsea blue when he makes his move to Europe. The deal marks a significant acquisition for Chelsea, adding to their roster a player touted as one of the brightest prospects in football.
