‘Here we go!’ – Double confirmation of big done Chelsea transfer deal today

Originally posted on Chelsea News | By Simon Phillips | Last updated 5/24/24

There has been a double confirmation of a big Chelsea done deal in the early hours of this morning coming from the main man himself Fabrizio Romano, and the manager of the club selling the player to Chelsea!

I don’t think you need any more confirmation than that really to say that Chelsea have just signed a player, other than the official club confirmation and announcement of course, which is still missing at the time of writing and it’s important to emphasise that.

However, when Romano drops the ‘here we go’ as he has this morning, then you can safely say you can expect that deal to happen.

Chelsea have pulled off a fantastic new signing of the next best thing coming out of Brazil, winger Estevao Willian!

Here We Go!

As you can see in his post below, Romano says ‘here we go, confirmed!’

Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira on Estevão to join Chelsea: “Endrick to Real Madrid and then Estevão to Chelsea now… in one year!”.

“I hope Chelsea won’t sign any other player from us, I hope they will let us alone. Please, give us a break”.

But not only has Romano confirmed it, as also seen in his post, the manager of Palmeiras has also basically confirmed that the deal is happening.

Abel Ferreira on Estevão about to join Chelsea: “Endrick to Real Madrid and then Estevão to Chelsea now… in one year! I hope Chelsea won’t sign any other player from us, I hope they will let us alone. Please, give us a break.”

You do have to feel for him a bit losing his two best young superstars, but I cannot promise that Chelsea will not be back knocking on the door again sometime soon as they seemingly like to be out there right now snapping up global talents from around the world.

Estevao of course cannot join Chelsea until he turns 18 which is going to be next season and not the one around the corner.

Romano also had some more details on the deal. He says: “One part of €25m add-ons package could be already activated while Estevão will play for Palmeiras next season. Main part remains based on Estevão’s performances at Chelsea. €40m fixed, €25m add-ons confirmed; considered ‘easy to reach.”
