Estêvão weighs January exit from Chelsea amid limited playing time

Estêvão is reportedly considering a potential exit from Chelsea when the January transfer window opens if his current playing time does not improve. The Brazilian forward, who joined the club from Palmeiras for €61.5 million, has struggled to find a consistent role under new head coach Xabi Alonso. Although he prefers playing in a central role, that position is currently occupied by Cole Palmer, and he is reportedly reluctant to transition into a wide role currently held by Pedro Neto. The player recently returned to the squad following a right thigh injury that sidelined him for the final portion of last season and the World Cup. While he remains committed to the club for now, the lack of significant minutes has led to internal discussions regarding his future. Alonso has managed the team through three matches this season, but the young forward remains uncertain about his pathway to regular appearances.
