Barcelona Director Deco Explains Why Club Passed on Willian Estevao for Chelsea Signing

Deco, the director of Barcelona, revealed the reasons behind the club's decision to not sign Willian Estevao, who eventually joined Chelsea. Barcelona preferred Lamin Yamal over Estevao due to specific player traits and team-building considerations.

Chelsea secured Estevao from Palmeira for a substantial fee of €29 million upfront, potentially rising to €55 million based on performance incentives. Estevao has already made an impact, scoring six goals in his debut season, including one against Barcelona.
