The debate flying around Brazil stipulates that Chelsea is ready to tender a big statement offer to the promising 17-year-old Estevao Willian from Palmeiras.
Anointed as the new superstar the market awaits to hear that their comparisons with Lionel Messi might have been justified and he will be pocketed a whopping initial fee of £25.5 million with the possibility of adding further £21 million.
Notwithstanding that he mostly plays on the wing, Willian has managed to see his success with eyes of many thanks to his skills while on the field. According to UOL, a Brazilian Media, Chelsea has supposedly made a strong attempt at getting Willian.
They believe other top clubs also are ready to battle for the winger. It is worth mentioning that Willian has been linked with Chelsea before with two unsuccessful moves in the past.
From the youth system of Palmeiras, Willian, the future star, comes to have the ball along with Endrick, a Real Madrid-bound talent. The note-worthy move of Endrick to Real Madrid last December, at only 16, put a price tag for the transfer fee that could be as influential to Real as £50 million.

What is the latest on Willian’s move to Chelsea?
Similarly to Endrick, Willian has obtained a notable amount of expectation, which leaves Palmeiras to perhaps not pay heed to Chelsea’s latest offer of £47 million for the time being, while still eyeing out higher offers from competing clubs.
Nevertheless, Willian’s signing may have to be postponed for the following summer when he turns 18 since players under are not allowed to sign professional contracts. It is as well as happened example with Real Madrid when to acquire Endrick, they delayed to confirm the deal until the end of the summer.
It is important to note that Chelsea’s determination in targeting Willian highlights the club’s ambition of continuity under Boehly’s leadership.
While the club aims to seal the services of the rising star, the football world is keen on a rather wait and watch basis to see whether it is the normal course for the Willian to continue to sparkle on the field and realise the promise he contains as the next great talent from Palmeiras’ prestigious training academy.
