Real Madrid continues to monitor young Brazilian starlet Estevan Willian as part of a long-term strategic plan to strengthen their attack with a promising talent considered by the club to be one of the brightest stars of the future.
Madrid’s management has been tracking the player since his impressive performances with Palmeiras. Recruitment officials considered replicating their previous strategy of signing Brazilian talents early, as they did with Andrej. However, the club opted against entering a high-stakes bidding war, and the player later moved to Chelsea for €60 million.

Regret After Market Value Soars
Within the Santiago Bernabéu, there is a prevailing sense that the opportunity was missed too soon, especially after the significant increase in the player’s market value, now estimated at around €80 million, with expectations that it will continue to rise given his young age of just 18.
In his first season with Chelsea, Estevan showed strong signs of development, scoring two goals and providing two assists, three of which came in the Champions League, reinforcing the belief that he could shine at the highest level.
A Timeline for Another Attempt
Despite his move to the Premier League, Real Madrid’s management believes the future may offer another opportunity. The club sees a potential serious move between 2027 and 2028 if the player’s circumstances or his current club’s project change.
Management believes that the style of play in La Liga could give Estevan more scope to showcase his technical abilities, making him a suitable target for the club’s long-term sporting project.
Sources close to Real Madrid confirm that the player is still being closely monitored and that the club is prepared to make a strong move if he becomes available in the transfer market, considering him an exceptional talent they do not want to lose again.
