Barcelona are attempting to sabotage Chelsea’s agreement to acquire Palmeiras’ sensational Brazilian player Estevao Willian.

For those looking to follow this kind of transfer and potentially enhance their experience, the 1xbet app download offers real-time updates and interactive features.

Since October, the Blues have been trying to sign the highly-regarded 16-year-old phenom, and they hope to reach an agreement soon. After he turned 18, the teenager relocated to Stamford Bridge. “Messinho” has a £51 million release clause, although no team has yet to commit to activating it.

But Barcelona has been moving forward in the background during private talks with the winger’s group, and they are becoming more confident that they will outsmart Chelsea.

Financial Fair Play is still a significant obstacle for both teams, who would currently find it difficult to reconcile the large-scale acquisition with their financial statements.

In addition, after notably disappointing seasons, Chelsea and Barcelona are both under more pressure from supporters to bolster their teams going forward. Any rival suitor willing to put money on the table may practically punish that hesitancy.

Before Chelsea can continue spending as they choose, it is understood that they must raise around £100 million in player sales by June 30th in order to comply with Premier League PSR regulations.If a deal is not done soon, a number of European powerhouses, including Paris Saint-Germain, could jump at the chance to sign Messinho, who is regarded as one of South America’s top talents.Barcelona just bought 19-year-old attacker Vitor Roque from Athletico Paranaense in July, indicating that they have been closely monitoring the Brazilian market.

He said: “[To] play for Barcelona, which is one of the best clubs in the world. I was born watching Neymar, Messi and [Luis] Suarez play at Barcelona and that is the dream I have. I watch almost all Barca games, I am a fan of the club. I have great admiration for the players who play there and I hope to be there too.”
