“This lad is way better than Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. He’s on the level of Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho. I can see him winning the Champions League very soon. We are doing the right thing by signing this amazing talent” – Chelsea is reportedly signing a 16-year-old prodigy who possesses an astonishing €60 million release clause.

As the upcoming transfer window approaches, Chelsea remains active in pursuing top young talents.

Reports suggest the Blues, under the ownership of Todd Boehly, are interested in Estevao Willian, also known as Messinho, a 16-year-old talent from Palmeiras, who comes with an impressive €60 million release clause.

However, they face competition from prominent clubs like Man City, Man United, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, with Barcelona currently considered the frontrunners due to the player’s reported preference.

Barcelona currently faces financial constraints, limiting their ability to complete deals in the transfer market.

President Joan Laporta and his team operate within a challenging framework, putting them at a disadvantage compared to other clubs.

While Financial Fair Play imposes restrictions on all clubs, this scenario creates a relatively level playing field.

In this context, Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s owner, may have a good opportunity to make a compelling pitch for the player’s services, potentially diverting his attention away from Barcelona.
