According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Chelsea is eager to secure the services of the Brazilian prodigy known as Messinho (Little Messi) and has reportedly submitted an offer totaling €60m (£51m/$63m) for the 16-year-old. The proposed deal comprises a base fee of €40m (£34/$42m) along with €20m (£17m/$21m) in additional incentives.

Although the 16-year-old winger’s current release clause stands at €60m, there are doubts whether Palmeiras will accept the offer, as they anticipate the player’s value to rise. They are contemplating offering him a new contract instead.

Messinho recently marked his debut goal for Palmeiras’ senior team, scoring in their 3-1 victory over Liverpool in a Copa Libertadores encounter.

While Chelsea is confident about securing the young talent ahead of the 2024/25 season, they face competition from two other Premier League clubs as well as Barcelona. Whether Palmeiras will agree to sell the promising youngster in the upcoming summer transfer window remains uncertain.
