Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared exclusive details regarding Chelsea's highly-rated young Brazilian signing, Estêvão, during a recent appearance on the Here We Go podcast.

Romano first clarified the contract length for the player, stating that Estêvão’s deal signed upon joining Chelsea from Palmeiras actually runs until 2033, a year longer than recently reported in the media.

He also revealed an intriguing performance-related incentive within the contract. Romano confirmed there is a bonus mechanism related to the Ballon d’Or. Should Estêvão win the prestigious award in the future, Palmeiras would receive an extra payment, and Chelsea would also be required to pay the player an additional bonus. Romano emphasized that Chelsea would be delighted to pay this bonus if the talent achieved such a prestigious honor.

In terms of his on-field role, Romano shed light on Chelsea's long-term tactical planning. While Estêvão is currently seen excelling on the wing, utilizing his excellent left foot, Chelsea’s internal planning for the next two to three years sees him developing into a No. 10 player. This positioning behind the center forward indicates that the club plans for the Brazilian talent to assume a central, playmaking role, signifying their detailed development plan for the highly promising young star.
