🗣 Estevão:

"I had to ask [Dario] Essugo what Cole had said to me. He laughed a bit before translating, telling me 'Cole said he’s excited for you and want you to come with us after the game'.”

“I wanted to stay some more time with my team pals. I came here with them. And I should by go back to Brazil with them. My heart is broken because only we know how hard we worked. But I leave with pride. And I am happy to have a giant club as Chelsea opening its doors to me.”

“I just wanted to show my new fans in England who I am. That it is all. I hope to learn. I am sure I come to London to evolve, and to make history there too.”

“Chelsea, though, can wait a few more days. I want to say goodbye properly to each and every player, technical staff and working person at our base camp.”

​​🔹Chelsea will want in excess of £50m for Noni Madueke! The club believe the current market justifies such a figure given the valuation's of Kudus and Elanga. Madueke still has 5 years left on his contract, so Chelsea are under no pressure to sell. No talks between the clubs have taken place yet.

🔹Borussia Dortmund wants Carney Chukwuemeka on loan again. Chelsea are currently believed to prefer Chukwuemeka’s outright sale, making a deal difficult at this stage.

🔹The priority is to focus on making sales now anyway. Chelsea will consider making more signings in the future, but the exits will have an impact on who arrives.

🔹Chelsea are also big admirers of Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers. There are other names on Chelsea's wishlist. Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho has been on it since January and they have also asked Lyon about Malick Fofana.

🔹Chelsea are also now monitoring Ethan Nwaneri’s situation at Arsenal. They tried to sign him before he signed his previous deal in 2023, and there is now just one year left on his contract.

🔹Chelsea made an enquiry to West Ham United for Mohammed Kudus last month but it has gone no further than that for now.

Chelsea apparently ‘floated the idea’ of involving Max Dowman in a deal for Madueke, which is something Arsenal didn’t hesitate to turn down.

🚨 Bayern may need to pay a fee of around €35m to sign Veiga, who they consider as someone with “tremendous potential”.

Chelsea are aware of Bayern’s interest, but as of now, there have been no negotiations.

‼️ The reality is that not every player is a Vinicius Jr. These players are exceptions rather than the rule.

Chelsea have every reason to believe they have found another such exception in Estevao.

Estevao is regarded as a player ready to take Europe by storm — even if, as his coach Perreira and his future team-mate Palmer pointed out, there will be times when patience is required.

‼️ From everything we hear out of Chelsea, they are acutely aware of what a special talent they are signing [Estevão].

Chelsea made their move last summer — and everything they have seen over the past 12 months has heightened their belief they have struck gold.

What some of us might see as a stockpiling of young talent, Chelsea and their owners regard as the smartest recruitment model around.
