Chelsea have immediate first-team plans for new £34 million signing Willian Estevao, according to reports.
The 17-year-old has made just 15 first-team appearances for Palmeiras but is regarded as one of Brazil’s most highly rated young players.
The winger, who has also featured for Brazil’s Under-17s, will join Chelsea after he turns 18 next year and will arrive at Stamford Bridge alongside 17-year-old Ecuador international Kendry Paez, whose £17.5m move to Chelsea was agreed last year.
Chelsea have agreed to pay an initial £34m fee for Estevao plus a further £21.5m in performance-related add-ons.
And according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are planning to integrate the Brazilian winger into the first-team squad straight away.
‘The deal is agreed from a new proposal sent by Chelsea,’ Romano said on his YouTube channel.)
‘This proposal after the first one was rejected which was €32m [£27.5m] plus €25m [£21.5m] in add-ons. Now, Chelsea have offered €40m [£34m) guaranteed plus €25m [£21.5m] in add-ons. Plus Chelsea will pay the taxes on the deal, which are also expensive with South American deals.
