Another Chelsea star’s future in doubt as PSG prepared to offer €100m for surprise transfer
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly prepared to pay as much as €100m to sign Estevao Willian from Chelsea in an ambitious transfer.
The highly-rated Brazilian wonderkid only joined the Blues last summer, and has mostly impressed in his first season at Stamford Bridge.

According to Fichajes, PSG are now seriously considering making a big bid for Estevao, who could potentially be brought in to replace Bradley Barcola amid some uncertainty over his future.
Chelsea surely won’t be at all keen to let Estevao go, however, as they’re yet to see the very best of the 18-year-old, who surely has a long and successful career ahead of him.
CFC will have signed Estevao with a view to the future, so it makes little sense for them to be cashing in on him already, even if there is perhaps a chance that they’d be tempted to do so at some point in the future.

These are slightly worrying times for Liam Rosenior’s side as performances on the pitch have not been good enough and there have been plenty of Chelsea transfer rumours involving star players leaving the club.
Enzo Fernandez has been suspended after comments he made recently which hinted at a desire to leave, and he’s also reported to be ready to hand in a transfer request, according to El Chiringuito (as cited and translated by Goal).
Cole Palmer is another who keeps attracting speculation, with the Sun reporting that he’s unhappy in west London.
Liam Rosenior on Estevao
Rosenior was full of praise for Estevao after his performance in the FA Cup win over Port Vale, with the teenager looking back to his best after some recent injury problems.
“He enjoys playing football and just wants to get on the ball. Wherever he is on the pitch he’s a threat, and he’s going to be a real, real plus for us going into the run-in,” Rosenior said.
PSG would surely love to have a talent like that on their hands, and they have the money to afford it, but this still looks like a tricky deal that’s unlikely to happen any time soon.
