Neymar, the talented Brazilian footballer, is currently playing for Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. However, he recently made headlines for something other than his own achievements. He sent a message to Chelsea's 17-year-old wonderkid, Estêvão Willian, after the young player broke his 15-year record in the Brazilian Serie A. It seems that Neymar is not only a skilled player, but also a gracious competitor.
Chelsea signed Estêvão from Palmeiras in June, but he will officially join the team on July 1, 2025, once he turns 18. Despite his young age, he has already proven himself to be a talented player in South America. In fact, his stellar performance has caught the attention of fellow Brazilian Neymar, who praised him on his Instagram account. Estêvão recently reached 18 goal contributions this season, breaking Neymar's previous record of 16, which he achieved with his childhood club Santos in 2009.
"Congratulations for breaking the record," Neymar wrote in his post about Estêvão. "May you continue to shine and enchant everyone with your soccer. Fly." It's heartwarming to see established players like Neymar supporting and encouraging young talents like Estêvão.
In a recent interview, Estêvão shared that he received a message from Cole Palmer, an English player, on social media the day after he signed with Chelsea. Palmer had used a trendy and popular celebration during a game, which Estêvão imitated when he scored a goal the next day. After connecting on social media, Palmer called Estêvão a "star" and expressed his excitement to see what they could achieve together at Chelsea.
Speaking of Chelsea, the club reportedly paid a hefty fee of €34m to secure Estêvão's talents, with the possibility of forking out an additional €23m based on his performance. It's clear that the team sees great potential in this young player, who has already earned his first caps for the Brazil first-team this year. It's safe to say that Estêvão's future in the sport looks bright.
