Barcelona have been following the progress of Estevao Willian for over a year. He is incredibly appreciated among the club officials, and especially by the sporting director Deco, whose knowledge of Brazilian football is vast.

Estevao, who earned the nickname “Messinho” due to his style of play behind Barcelona icon Lionel Messi, has spoken openly in the past about his desire to join the Catalan giants, and this gives him a significant advantage in the race. for his signature – a race that includes the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcelona cannot afford a deal for Estevao now because of their financial problems, but MD have reported that they are making progress towards a possible deal for the 16-year-old winger. They have spoken regularly with the player's entourage, although the negotiation with Palmeiras will be a different piece of fish.

Estevao is considered one of the brightest young talents in football, and would be a brilliant deal for Barcelona if they signed them. However, the problem is that he is mainly a right winger, and they already have a certain Lamine Yamal who operates in that position.
