According to a report by FootballTransfers on Friday, October 30, 2026, the 19-year-old winger is attracting attention from several prominent clubs following a difficult start to the current campaign. Although Estevão initially impressed after arriving at Stamford Bridge, his playing opportunities have decreased since Xabi Alonso became Chelsea manager this summer.
The Brazilian has managed only 172 minutes out of a possible 990 across all competitions this season. His limited involvement was particularly noticeable during Chelsea’s Carabao Cup defeat against Liverpool at Anfield, where he remained an unused substitute.
Following the disappointing result, Alonso admitted that the teenager is eager to receive more playing time. However, the manager remains confident that opportunities will come as the season progresses. He also highlighted the physical demands of English football, explaining that the campaign is lengthy and provides sufficient opportunities for players to establish themselves.
Interestingly, Estevão was not included in the starting lineup against Liverpool despite Cole Palmer being suspended for the encounter. The decision raised further questions about the youngster's position in Alonso's plans and his prospects of securing regular appearances.
According to The Daily Mail, several Premier League and European sides are closely following developments surrounding the winger ahead of a possible move next year. Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are among the clubs reportedly interested in his services, having previously shown admiration for him before his transfer to Chelsea.
Estevão is reportedly becoming frustrated with his limited involvement, although the situation is not believed to have resulted from any personal disagreement with Alonso. Instead, tactical considerations and technical decisions are understood to be influencing his selection.
Despite the growing interest, Chelsea are reportedly unwilling to entertain offers for the teenager in 2027. The club regarded him as one of their most important assets during the summer and remain determined to retain his services.
Nevertheless, if his playing time continues to decline, interest from rival clubs could intensify, potentially forcing Chelsea to deal with several approaches for one of their most promising young attackers.
