I want to End my professional career at Chelsea but only if they sell £60m player,He is the only one that I don’t want to play with in my career”, Neymar Jnr reveals the ONE condition that is hindering Him from joining Chelsea by January
Neymar Jr. has expressed his desire to end his professional career at Chelsea but with one notable condition: he will only join the club if they sell a specific £60 million player. Neymar has made it clear that there is just one individual he refuses to share the pitch with, and this has become the primary obstacle preventing him from making a move to Chelsea in the upcoming January transfer window.
The Brazilian star, who has had a remarkable career playing for top clubs like Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, sent a personal message to Estevao Willian, a rising talent set to join Chelsea in the near future. Estevao, currently playing for Palmeiras, has been making headlines after breaking one of Neymar’s long-standing records in Brazilian football. Chelsea had already secured Estevao’s transfer from Palmeiras earlier this year, with the deal valued at an initial £29 million, though it could rise to as much as £55 million with additional performance-based clauses. Estevao is set to officially join Chelsea in the summer of 2025 after turning 18.
This past weekend, Estevao continued to demonstrate his potential by contributing a goal and an assist in Palmeiras’ 5-3 victory over Juventude. This brought his season tally to an impressive 18 goal involvements across all competitions, with 10 goals and eight assists. In doing so, Estevao surpassed a record previously held by Neymar, who, during his final season at Santos in 2009, set the record for the most goal contributions by a 17-year-old in Brazil’s Serie A.
Neymar acknowledged this achievement by sending a message of praise to Estevao on social media. The 32-year-old took to Instagram to congratulate the young forward, writing, “Congratulations, Estevao Willian, on breaking the record. May you continue to shine and amaze everyone with your football. Keep flying high!”
Estevao’s potential is being widely recognized, and although he will not turn 18 until April of next year, he is already considered one of the brightest young prospects in Brazilian football. The Brazilian top flight season will begin shortly after his 18th birthday, giving him a full season of experience in Brazil before he moves to England. He will be joining a growing contingent of young talent at Chelsea, with fellow Brazilian star Kendry Paez also set to join the club once he turns 18 next year.
As Chelsea looks to build for the future, Neymar’s interest in joining the club adds another layer of excitement, though it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold regarding the player he does not want to team up with.
