Estevao set for final Brasileirao outing before Chelsea move

Palmeiras are looking to defend their place at the top of the table in what promises to be a testing encounter away to Cruzeiro. For Estevao, the match will be especially poignant as it marks his last outing in the Brasileirao before his move to London.

At just 18, the Brazil international will line up against Cruzeiro – the very club where he began his career before joining Palmeiras' academy in 2021 – in his final domestic appearance.

The Franca-born forward will be eager to sign off in style from a Brasileirao season in which he has yet to get on the scoresheet, though he has notched four goals in the current Copa Libertadores campaign.

This match won't be his last in a Palmeiras shirt, however. Estevao will represent the Sao Paulo giants once more in the Club World Cup, which takes place in the United States this summer.

Once his commitments there conclude, he will officially join Chelsea, who are adding another exciting young talent to their squad as they gear up for next season's Champions League.
