Transfer 5/24: Brazilian prodigy about to join Chelsea

[

On the morning of May 24, the Palmeiras club's homepage confirmed the transfer of striker Willian Estevao to Chelsea. The Stamford Bridge team will sign a contract with the young Brazilian talent for 40 million Euros with 25 million Euros in additional fees in the summer of 2025, when Estevao turns 18.

This is a higher price than Chelsea expected. Mr. Todd Boehly - Chelsea Club President - initially agreed to pay only 34 million Euros without additional fees to Palmeiras. However, the club's leadership wanted to quickly close this deal so they added 6 million Euros to complete the contract.

Willian Estevao is a Brazilian national, born on April 24, 2007. The 17-year-old's preferred position is striker or right winger, and is left-footed. Estevao grew up in the Cruzeiro youth academy, before playing for the Palmeiras U17 team at the age of 14.

Estevao's impressive performance earned him a promotion to the Palmeiras first team in January 2024. After 22 appearances, the Brazilian striker scored a total of 7 goals for the team in all competitions, earning him a starting position on the right wing for Palmeiras.

Willian Estevao will play for another year before officially joining Chelsea in the summer of 2025, when he will be 18 years old according to FIFA regulations.

Coach Stefano Pioli says goodbye to AC Milan

In Italy, AC Milan's home page has officially announced the departure of coach Stefano Pioli after a disappointing season. The 19-time Scudetto winner finished second in Serie A, but the gap between Milan and champions Inter is nearly 20 points.

Being eliminated early from the Champions League and National Cup tournaments was also the reason why Milan's Board of Directors and coach Pioli decided to "go their separate ways".

Mr. Stefano Pioli was appointed head coach by Milan in 2019. The Italian coach has successfully led Rossoneri to their first Serie A title after 10 years of waiting.

AC Milan have yet to identify the name that will replace Mr. Pioli on the coaching bench from the 2024/25 season.

Bayern Munich intends to "gut" its opponent

Bayern Munich just went through the 2023/24 season empty-handed. In order to reform the squad, the Bavarian giant is targeting Dani Omo (Leipzig) as the top transfer target for next season.

The Spanish midfielder's contract with RB Leipzig runs until 2027. If they want to sign Olmo this summer, the Bavarian giants will have to pay Leipzig a 60 million Euro release clause. This is an amount within Bayern's means, but still accounts for about 1/3 of the team's transfer fund this summer (200 million Euro).

Dani OImo is a player who grew up at La Masia (Barcelona)

Bayern's biggest rival in the race to sign Dani Olmo is Barcelona. The 26-year-old midfielder is a product of the prestigious La Masia academy, before playing abroad in Croatia and Germany.

In the 2023/24 season, Dani Olmo played a total of 25 matches for RB Leipzig, scoring 8 goals and having 5 assists.
