According to a recent report by journalist James Holland, Manchester City is looking to sign Chelsea winger Estevao. The club is keen to finalize a deal for the Brazilian talent sometime next year.
Estevao’s Stellar Performance in the Premier League
This season, Estevao has made a notable impact playing on the right flank for Chelsea. The 18-year-old has netted five goals and provided one assist in 20 appearances across various competitions.

The Brazilian forward has showcased his offensive abilities, averaging 3.02 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League, with 26.7% of those attempts hitting the target. Additionally, he has proven effective in distribution, boasting an 81.6% pass completion rate in the English top flight (statistics via fbref.com).
With his current contract at Stamford Bridge extending until the summer of 2033, Manchester City would need to make a substantial offer to convince Chelsea to part with their rising star.

Could Estevao Be the Future for Manchester City?
Estevao is an adept dribbler with a keen ability to deliver decisive passes in and around the opponent’s penalty area. He possesses a powerful long-range shot and contributes to both scoring and creating goals for his team.

With remarkable technical skills, Estevao presents the potential to be an outstanding player. Although primarily deployed as a right winger, he can also adapt as an attacking midfielder when necessary. His prior experience in the Premier League should allow for a smooth transition to Manchester City.
Estevao would significantly boost Pep Guardiola’s offensive options in the long term, making him a strong candidate for regular first-team action at the Etihad Stadium next season.
At just 18 years old, Estevao has the potential to develop into a generational talent. He is undoubtedly a player to keep an eye on in the future, and Guardiola would be wise to intensify efforts to secure him next year.
