According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the West Londoners are set to pay a fixed fee worth €40m (£33.7m) for the winger.

Chelsea will also include €20m (£16.9m) in “easy add-ons” as well as €5m (£4.2m) in “difficult extra add-ons”.

Estevao is set to sign a contract with Enzo Maresca’s side until 2032 with a deal expected to be completed soon.

The teenager is expected to move to Stamford Bridge next year when he turns 18.

The Brazilian has already completed initial medical tests with Chelsea.

And Estevao is expected to join the first team immediately after his arrival in 2025.

The youngster, who is so impressive he has been nicknamed “Messinho”, made his debut for Palmeiras in December whilst still aged 16.

Estevao has since scored three goals and provided three assists in 21 first-team appearances for the club.

He is capable of playing behind the striker and in attacking midfield as well as on the right wing.

Estevao will be added to Chelsea’s already young side, which has attracted some of the most exciting talents for hefty fees.

However, the squad’s state next year will depend on Maresca‘s debut season in charge at Stamford Bridge as well as the upcoming summer transfer window.
