The FC Barcelona has begun initial inquiries to evaluate the signing of the winger Estevao, 19 years old, ahead of the summer market. The Brazilian is Deco's new target to strengthen the blaugrana squad.

As revealed by El Nacional, the sporting director has begun exploring the situation of the Brazilian international at Chelsea, where the player is experiencing a period of limited playtime under coach Xabi Alonso.

Estevao's role at Stamford Bridge and transfer figures

The 19-year-old forward joined Chelsea in July 2025 from Palmeiras for a fixed fee of 34 million euros, in a deal that could reach a total of 60 million euros through agreed variables. Despite signing a long-term contract with the English club until June 30, 2033, his secondary role in Alonso's system has raised doubts about his stay in London.

The player has 11 international caps and 5 goals with the Brazilian national team, maintaining a market value of 80.00 million euros on Transfermarkt. This figure reflects his international potential, attracting Deco's interest to bolster the blue and maroon squad's attack.

Competition with Liverpool and Deco's financial strategy

For FC Barcelona, signing the right winger would provide an offensive option out wide. However, the club's sporting direction will compete with Liverpool, another club closely monitoring the player's progress in the Premier League. Liverpool is gathering reports on his performance to assess a possible economic offer in 2027.

Given that Chelsea made a higher payout of more than 34 million euros just a year ago, the British board will not facilitate his transfer for a reduced amount. Therefore, Deco is considering financial formulas to structure a feasible negotiation without compromising the club's salary cap margin.

The analysts from FC Barcelona's technical department will physically monitor the attacker's minutes during the matches in October and November 2026. FC Barcelona plans to initiate initial informal discussions with Estevao's representatives at the beginning of 2027 to gauge the player's willingness before submitting a formal offer to Chelsea.
