According to a report by TEAMtalk on Monday November 2, 2026, Manchester United are reportedly prepared to make an offer worth approximately €103 million to sign Chelsea youngster Estevao, but the Blues have already made their position clear regarding his future.
The Brazilian winger has attracted interest from several European clubs since Chelsea secured his signature, beating competition from other teams to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
At just 19, Estevao was one of Chelsea's standout performers during the disappointing 2025/26 campaign. However, his involvement has reportedly reduced under new head coach Xabi Alonso, leading to speculation about a possible departure.
Manchester United are among the clubs monitoring his situation, with reports suggesting that the Red Devils could be willing to offer around £86 million, equivalent to approximately €103 million, to secure his signature.
However, according to Spanish outlet AS, Chelsea are not considering selling the Brazilian during the January transfer window. Instead, the London club are reportedly working towards convincing him to sign a new contract.
Estevao recently returned to Chelsea's starting lineup for their 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Saturday. He delivered an impressive performance and even had two goals ruled out, showing why he remains an important prospect for the club.
Football journalist Fabrizio Romano has also provided an update on the youngster's situation, describing him as a special talent and recalling the excitement surrounding his arrival at Chelsea.
Romano said: “In 2025 we all had the feeling in the football world, journalists, fans, whoever is involved, that Estevao was going to become the big thing.”
He added that the Brazilian had been performing well for Chelsea and the national team before his playing time became more limited under Alonso.
The journalist also discussed questions from supporters about whether Estevao could leave in January, suggesting that his situation needed to be understood in the context of his current role and the manager's explanation.
Following Chelsea's victory over Manchester United, Alonso reportedly acknowledged that Estevao might not be completely happy with his current situation but explained that the winger had been dealing with an injury and needed to recover properly.
The Chelsea manager also indicated that the youngster would get his opportunities when he was fully ready, saying: “His time, his moments will come soon.”
