Hi Ed hearing reports we're in talks to sign Estaveo Willian (Messinho), is this true? Also would this be instead of the likes of Nico Williams, or is Estaveo seen as more for the future?

Also Kendry Paez looks like one hell of a player, him and Willian are 2 of the top young talents in the world by all accounts.

{Ed002's Note - Estevao Willian (RW/F) Another kiddie scouted by Manchester City and Arsenal. Chelsea have made a proposal to take him in 2025 when he turns 18. Real Madrid and Barcelona will likely do the same. Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have sent scouts. PSG will offer the full buy out clause in a single payment but his agent wants Barcelona or Chelsea and the player prefers Barcelona but they have the emerging Lamine Yamal, so PSG and Barcelona may both step back.}

A question ed002 if I may. With future transfers like estevao, or even in the case of Paez, is the transfer recorded in accounts when it’s agreed or when they move clubs ie summer of 2025? Many thanks :)

Hi Ed. Firstly thanks for the information you're still giving also on the Chelsea page.

Now regarding Estevao, you mention that the player's agent wants Barcelona or Chelsea (rather than PSG for example) . Do you know what is driving that preference? Is it money related (perhaps Chelsea is willing to pay more agent fees? ), or is it because of Chelsea having a good/ clear progression plan for the player? I would hope it's because of the latter, but money talks so could easily be the former too.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect the agent may be looking to the future, but i don't know.}

Thanks for the reply, Ed. Have an excellent day, and enjoy the CL semi tonight if you're watching :)
