Sources: Estevao makes up mind on Chelsea transfer
The 19-year-old has played just 23 minutes of Premier League football so far this season, but is happy to remain "patient" for opportunities.
The Brazil international is firmly behind the trio of Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers in the pecking order, but Chelsea will not consider selling him any time soon.
Sources say that the Blues still have extremely "high hopes" for Estevao, and Xabi Alonso continues to view him as a key part of his long-term project.
The starlet has recently recovered from a hamstring injury that ruled him out of the World Cup and is expected to receive more regular minutes for Chelsea moving forward.
He notched eight goals and three assists in all competitions for the West Londoners last term, but is yet to make an impact for them in 2026-27.
Estevao not plotting Chelsea exit
Estevao was viewed as one of world football's leading young talents when Chelsea snapped him up from Palmeiras last summer, and little has changed in terms of his reputation.
Despite recent reports in Spain, the youngster is content at Stamford Bridge and is not keen on the idea of pushing for a move in the upcoming transfer windows.
Chelsea hold the wideman in extremely high regard and know that he will play an important role for them as the season progresses.
Estevao has arguably been a victim of Alonso's use of wing-backs so far this term, but he has turned out in an attacking midfield role in both Carabao Cup games.
Chelsea have made a promising start to the new campaign, but that has pushed the youngster onto the fringes to some extent.
'Door open' for Estevao to push into Chelsea XI
Former Everton scout Bryan King told Football Insider earlier this week that Estevao has "behaved impeccably" despite his lack of gametime in recent weeks.
The ex-recruitment man made it clear that the youngster could have started to sulk at Stamford Bridge, but instead he has remained fully focused.
King made it clear that the injury to Joao Pedro may have just "opened the door" for Estevao to show Alonso that he is worthy of a regular starting spot.
His Brazil teammate is expected to be out of action until the middle of October, leaving a space available at the top of the pitch.
