Palmeiras jewel Estevão Willian is about to cause a bidding war between some top European clubs. At 16, the Palmeiras jewel aims to follow in Endrick’s footsteps, who signed with Real Madrid.
There have already been several attempts by different European clubs to convince Palmeiras. PSG put €50 million on the table, and Manchester City also showed interest in Franca. But the Alviverde team is clear about the quality of its star and refers to the termination clause set at €60 million.
Where does FC Barcelona stand in all of this? Spanish outlet AS reports (h/t Fichajes) that the money clubs are willing to pay might be too much for the Catalan side, considering their finances.
It’s a complicated economic situation for Barcelona. As a result, the club will have to find more salary space or make a different proposal in the style of Vitor Roque. The player has clarified that he desires to follow in Leo Messi’s footsteps and grow at Barça.
