Under Todd Boehly’s regime, Chelsea showed real persistence to search for the South American market, gaining the best young talent, and has seen signings from Andrey Santos, Kendry Paez and Aaron Anselmino.
These are just examples of three players who bought for a smaller fee, and after a year or two they will be worth more, which we have seen with Santos, who borrowed in Strasbourg as one of France’s best midfielders.
But maybe a microcosm of their transfer recruitment model, hoping to get the best young talent from the world, especially for the South American market, is their signing of Brazilian winger Estevao, who will join London in July in July.
If people believe the recent reports, the teenager may have another attack on the superstar this summer.
Chelsea’s Brazilian sensation
According to reports from Spain earlier this week, Chelsea has submitted a sensational offer from Real Madrid, with Endrick worth about €70 million (£59 million). The Blues hope to add more options to the frontline with Jackson, the 18-year-old Brazilian is on their radar.
Transfer focus
Giant money deals, controversial moves and big-name slippers. This is the hometown of football fans’ transfer news and opinions.
Real Madrid bought the promising striker at the age of 16, becoming the most expensive 16-year-old in history, with a total cost of around €60 million (£51 million).
Endrick currently has the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, limiting his few minutes of the season with a pecking order.
Endrick has made 29 appearances for Real Madrid this season and scored 7 goals in 562 minutes. But how is it possible for him to connect with Chelsea’s own Brazilian superstar?
Comparison between Endrick and Estevao
Estevao will arrive at Chelsea this summer after 62 appearances with the senior team of Palmerias, scoring 21 goals and providing 10 assists at the age of 17.
The Brazilian is expected to be part of Chelsea’s first team next season, where he may fight the team in the game with the likes of Pedro Neto and Noni Madueke.

When comparing the basic indicators of the two youngsters, it is important to point out that Endrick played the forward for about 600 minutes for Real Madrid. On the other hand, Estevao played on the right and played for over 2500 minutes.
Both players complement each other well, joining together in tight areas, using his progressive tool kit to participate more deeply in the deeper stages of the game, while Endrick occupies the range inside and outside the box, hoping to provide this killer instinct in front of the target.
Estevao has continued to break Brazil’s record since breaking through and winning his major transfer, bringing Neymar’s Campeonato Brasileiro’s record in goal, netting 10 goals and providing eight assists to beat Neymar’s 16 goals in 2009.
Before Estevao really broke down globally, Endrick had already received high praise, labeled as a “future phenomenon” by Brazilian legend Cafu, and Craque Neto even said: “He will be better than Romario and Ronaldo!”
If Boehly and Co can somehow guarantee a £68,000-a-week Madrid star to partner in Chelsea’s attacking force, they will certainly be seen as one of the most threatening young duo in European football, thus making Chelsea one of the most dangerous attacks in Europe.
