FC Barcelona is reportedly looking at the next exciting young star coming from Brazil, Estevao "Messinho" Willian. The young Palmeiras player has excited many Brazilian fans with his skills, flair, and pace on the pitch, and it has caught the attention of many European clubs, including FC Barcelona. Estevao was born in 2007 and is only 17 years old, but the winger has impressive technique. Since FC Barcelona is looking for a player that showcases glimpses of Lionel Messi, they may have found it in Messinho, who dreams of playing for the Catalan club in the future. Messinho's release clause is worth $64.6 million, but no club has been willing to trigger it, with Chelsea potentially rivaling Barcelona for his signature.
Sport reported that FC Barcelona would stop going for Messinho since the club could not afford the release clause nor take a risk to spend big on him after signing Vitor Roque last summer, who arrived in January and has featured few minutes for the Catalan team these past few months. UOL Esporte reported that Chelsea will offer Palmeiras more than $30 million for Messinho.
Mundo Deportivo gives FC Barcelona fans good news as the young Brazilian star is still on Barcelona's list. Messinho is not in a rush to leave Brazil, being clear that his desire continues to be to play for Barça. His family and entourage also want him to follow his dream. He understands the situation at Barça and is willing to wait. He has rejected contacts from Chelsea and Manchester United, and the situation is under control.
The young Brazilian shined for Palmeiras in the last Cup game against Botafogo SP. Messinho played the entire game, and in the 98th minute, he scored the winner to give Palmeiras a 2-1 win. Apart from the goal, he also created the most chances in the match with six, completed the most dribbles in the match with 11, and won the most duels in the match with 13.
