In recent years, Barcelona has brought in a lot of young players to play for the first team. This approach has paid off, as players like Gavi, Pedri, Ronald Araujo, Alejandro Balde, Lamine Yamal, and Fermin Lopez have all become regulars under Xavi Hernandez.
For these reasons and the fact that they are short on money, the Blaugrana are focused on getting the best young players on the market.
Links have been made with talented people like Roony Bardghji of FC Copenhagen and Lucas Bergvall, another Swedish star player.
Believe Barcelona that Estevao is a rare talent.
Barcelona is also keeping a close eye on Estevao Willian, better known as “Messinho,” a young Brazilian star player for Palmeiras.
Estevao is thought to be one of the best young players in Brazil. Several top teams in Europe, including Barcelona and Real Madrid, have been keeping an eye on him.
Now, a story from Mundo Deportivo gives us more information about why the Catalans want to sign the 16-year-old attacking midfield genius.
Based on the story, Barcelona thinks Estevao is a unique and interesting player with a bright future ahead of him.
They want to hire him again when he turns 18 because of this reasoning. The smart kid in his teens has also said that he wants to play for the Catalans, which gives them an edge.
Estevao debuts with Palmeiras’ first team
Estevao recently showed what a great player he is and how much promise he has by leading Brazil at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia.
The 16-year-old star got to play his first game for Palmeiras’ first team on Wednesday night, when they won the Brasileirao.
Estevao, wearing shirt number 41, came on in the second half to play the last 12 minutes of the game against Cruzeiro. When he walked onto the field, the people cheered loudly.
Messinho had a great season as a youth player, winning both the league and the cup with the U-20 team. His start is another step in what should be a successful career.
