The Blues signed midfielder Andrey Santos in January 2023 and winger Angelo last summer, while 16-year-old Kendry Paez has agreed a deal to move to Stamford Bridge in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Sources close to the situation have told\u00a0<em>90min<\/em>\u00a0that Chelsea hold serious interest in adding Estevao to their group of young talents and are searching for an agreement over a transfer fee with Palmeiras, who are demanding his release clause of \u20ac60m (\u00a351.6m) be paid in full.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s preference would be to avoid triggering the clause, which requires a full payment up front, and instead strike a deal which would allow them to pay in instalments and spread the total cost over a number of years. However, activating the clause has not been ruled out either.<\/p>\n<p>While Chelsea are keen to get a deal done soon, Blues officials will not rush a final decision because there is a confidence that\u00a0Barcelona, the main rivals for Estevao\u2019s signature, are not able to compete financially at this point or move quickly to get him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFair Play affects many teams, but we do not have the capacity to sign new players,\u201d Barca sporting director Deco said after the Supercopa de Espana final defeat to Real Madrid. \u201cThis is the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The main stumbling block for Chelsea, however, is Estevao\u2019s public preference to join Barcelona. The teenager has spoken openly about his desire to move to Catalonia and Chelsea are well aware of his feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are trying to secure a commitment from Estevao as soon as possible, before Barcelona have the chance to raise the money and firmly enter the race for his signature. Estevao is unable to move to Europe until the summer of 2025 and could theoretically delay a decision on his next club until then, but Chelsea are hoping to find an agreement sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea are pushing hard to try and strike a\u00a0deal\u00a0for Palmeiras winger Estevao ahead of rival suitors Barcelona,\u00a090min\u00a0understands. 16-year-old Estevao is widely hailed as one of the best talents in South America and\u00a0scouts from a number of the world\u2019s top clubs\u00a0have followed his performances at youth level with both Palmeiras and Brazil.
