Its too soon for that.

Maybe in 3 or 4 years but not now

And as well Contract expires: Jun 30, 2033.

If he has not signed a new contract by 2029 we can sell in 2030 that's a nice 5 years of use of him plus potential value we will get in 5 years time.

He is amazing. Real Madrid will come knocking...

Which is why we can't remain in 'science project' mode forever.

Top players won't always stick around, so best to set them and the team up for success, when we can actually win stuff. Instead of only scraping top 4 finishes.

100%

to deter we need player exchange contracts - (that pisses off anyone sniffing) and increase the release clause. Though hard to see the current custodians of our club knowing the difference between price and value

If he's like Hazard and gives us amazing memories for around 5 seasons, wins the PL and other trophies and then wants to try something new, that would be fine. 

Every player has a dream and from what I've seen South American players typically enjoy playing in La Liga at some point in their careers. Feels like it is inevitable that Estevao and Enzo will ask for moves to Spanish clubs at some point

It was in May 2024 that the first links between Chelsea and Estevao Willian started to be reported. A deal to sign him the following summer was soon concluded, and since then Blues fans have waited patiently to see him unleashed.

They cannot wait much longer.

Supporters have been tracking the youngster ever since those first rumours, and the excitement has continued to build. Some really special moments - a first Brazil goal, scoring against Chelsea in the Club World Cup, some ridiculous displays in the Brazilian league - kept raising expectations further, but it felt like the last minute winner against Liverpool in the final game before the international break was the 18-year-old's real coming-out party.

After the game, TV pundits around the world showered him with praise and he took his first major step from highly-rated talent to household name, at least in footballing circles.

As talents go, you almost could not design one more suited to get supporters excited. A pure one-on-one dribbler who is not afraid to shoot and has the natural movement and instincts of a goalscorer, Estevao looks utterly fearless despite his age.

The much repeated lines about needing to be patient with him and his development are made to look faintly ridiculous by just how confident and capable he is already.

Manager Enzo Maresca is doing his best to protect the prodigy, but there is only so much he can do when Estevao continues to make such important impressions from the bench.

For now, fans will be content to see him arrive as a game-breaking roll of the dice in the second halves of games.

But if he keeps looking so much more dangerous than his rivals for minutes on the wing, it will only be a matter of time before the coach has little choice but to give him regular starts.
