Negotiated with Chelsea, Estêvão will leave Palmeiras in the second half of 2025. And the palestrina jewel has already revealed, at the ESPN Silver Ball Bet Won Award, on Monday (9), that it is gradually already acclimatizing to the new reality.
In an interview with ESPN, the striker revealed that he already talks with some of his future teammates, including striker Cole Palmer and lateral Reece James, and that he also heard advice from defender Thiago Silva, today at Fluminense, about the Blues.

Estêvão also explained his celebration in the goals, repeating the gesture that is made by Palmer at Chelsea.
"I really like this celebration (of Cole Palmer). Since I signed with Chelsea, I said I was going to do this celebration. We exchanged an idea, I'm happy to have this contact with him. I'm learning English, it's hard, it's a good technique (movie without subtitles), music... I haven't made any visits to Chelsea yet, but, having the opportunity, now on vacation, I'll get to know the structure," he said.

"There are Chelsea agents here in Brazil who talk to you, Palmer talks to me on Instagram, there is (Reece) James who said that if I needed something it was to talk to him, Thiago Silva talked to me in this last game (against Palmeiras, at Alliaz). I said that the club is top and they are waiting for me with open arms," he said.

The jewel revealed at Palmeiras' base also said which number he intends to use in England and talked about acting at the tip, when many believe he could perform better as a midfielder.
"I don't have (a preference), but I really like 41 (about a shirt to choose from at Chelsea). If you have 41, it will be cool too," he said.
"I was always (shirt) ten and went to the tip to have the one against one. Of course I respect Abel's (Ferreira) decision, I know that at the end I have enjoyed it better, but maybe in the future I will play where I feel most comfortable, which is inside."
Estêvão closed the 2024 season, his first complete as a professional, with 45 games played by Palmeiras and recorded 15 goals and 10 assists.
