Willian Estevao Transfer: He still got his head with Palmeiras
The transfer expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on his X post, saying that Willian is not thinking about the London-based team at the moment. Romano wrote “Chelsea? My head today is 100% focused on Palmeiras,” Romano wrote, reenacting the player’s comment regarding the rumour.
“I don’t think of these things, they’re secondary. I think of helping Palmeiras and trying my hardest to bring them glory”.
