Transfer showdown: Man Utd, Arsenal, and Chelsea in a battle for the Brazilian wonderkid dubbed 'Little Messi.'
The trio from the Premier League is pursuing a young player with a buyout clause of £51 million.
PALMEIRAS' young talent, Estevao Willian, is drawing attention from THREE Premier League clubs. Willian earned his spot in the first team of the Brazilian giants after delivering a series of remarkable performances for their youth squads.
Estevao Willian has created a significant impact for Palmeiras at the youthful age of 16.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United are monitoring the movements of the Brazilian player.
News of the 16-year-old midfielder's skills has rapidly circulated, to the extent that powerhouse Barcelona is already devising plans to acquire him. However, reports suggest that other clubs are also keen on securing his services. According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United are closely monitoring the young player's development. The Premier League trio is reportedly fiercely competing to secure the prodigy, who comes with a substantial £51 million buyout clause.
The Spanish sports publication also alleges that Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning French champions, are among the versatile midfielder's potential suitors. However, the bids from the four interested parties may face obstacles due to the teenager, often referred to as the "Little Lionel Messi," having a strong inclination to play for Barcelona. Mundo Deportivo asserts that "Messinho" has a firm desire to join Barca, and Palmeiras' leadership intends to honor this preference by rejecting other offers. Willian expressed his aspiration to play for the Catalans last year, stating to Mundo Deportivo, "[My dream is] to play for Barcelona."
