Manchester City’s interest in Estevao intensifies
Pep Guardiola’s project aims to take a further step in his offensive structure, believing that Estevao has all the qualities to lead a new era. Manchester City’s board has internally stated that they will spare no expense to secure the player, and are even considering doubling his salary to place him among the highest-paid players in the squad.
As reported by Sport, the Brazilian winger represents a strategic investment for the Premier League giant: young age, immediate impact and a growth potential that few current players can offer. His flirting, understanding of the game and ability to stand out in tight spaces make him a perfect match for Guardiola’s style, which focuses on dynamic and technically brilliant profiles.
Estevao’s name has been on Manchester City’s sporting director’s agenda for months, but the recent decision to raise the offer to a record amount in the club’s history shows that it is no longer just about interest; It is a total offensive movement.
Chelsea stand firm to protect their Brazilian gem
Meanwhile, Chelsea have chosen to rally around their young striker. The London club see the Brazilian as a crucial piece in their sports reconstruction and are not willing to let him go under any circumstances. The ‘blue’ board believe his potential could define an era at Stamford Bridge, so all attempts at negotiation are currently off the table.
While €120 million may tempt any club, Chelsea understands that selling an 18-year-old player destined to lead their attack will weaken their long-term consolidation efforts. They see Estevao as a project symbol, not just a financial asset.

A challenging situation for any deal
The operation, although high-profile, seems convoluted. Chelsea’s determination, a long-term contract and the player’s priority to establish himself in the Premier League could slow down City’s determined negotiating efforts. Still, in today’s football landscape, nothing is final, and the coming months will be crucial in determining whether Manchester City’s financial pressures can cause Chelsea to deviate from their stance.
The impact on the Premier League landscape
A transfer of this magnitude would reshape the competitive map of the Premier League. Manchester City would strengthen their strategy of investing in elite young talent, and backed up an attack that is already among the most potent on the continent. Moreover, the arrival of a player with Estevao’s potential impact would trigger a new media focus on the English league.
For Chelsea, the loss of their gem would have represented a deeply symbolic and sporting blow. That would mean letting go of a player who is destined to be a cornerstone of their immediate future. Therefore, London insists that there will be no movements, emphasizing its total commitment to the Brazilian.
A power measurement that will define the market
The battle for Estevao promises to be one of the big soap operas in the upcoming transfer window. Manchester City are ready to break their record and offer a star player contract, while Chelsea cling to their gem with unwavering determination. The Brazilian’s future will arguably be one of the most intense topics in European football in the coming months.
