As the next transfer window nears, Chelsea is actively seeking top young prospects.
Reports indicate that under Todd Boehly’s ownership, the Blues are eyeing Estevao Willian, known as Messinho, a 16-year-old talent from Palmeiras, who has a notable €60 million release clause.
Yet, they are contending with major clubs such as Man City, Man United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona, with Barcelona currently in the lead due to the player’s alleged preference. Barcelona is grappling with financial issues, which hampers their ability to finalize deals effectively.
President Joan Laporta and his staff are navigating a tough financial landscape, which puts them at a disadvantage compared to other teams.
Although Financial Fair Play restrictions apply to all clubs, this situation creates a relatively balanced competitive environment.
In this scenario, Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s owner, may have a strong chance to present an appealing offer to the player, potentially shifting his interest away from Barcelona.
