"My head is 100% focused on Palmeiras," he told Paramount+. "I don't think about that, I think about how I'm going to do my best on the field today and help Palmeiras achieve their goals.
"This remains in the background and I try to do my best on the field to bring joy to the Palmeiras fans."
Chelsea are anticipated to submit a bid worth an initial £30 millions, with a further £21.5m in add-ons, as they prepare to exceed his £38m release clause with a structure that would allow them to spread the payments out over a number of years.
However, Chelsea may have to hold off their rival interest from Bayern Munich as Goal Brasil state state the German giants have joined the race for Estevao's signature.
The Bavarians(Bayern Munich) are said to be launching a bid which would be greater than for Chelsea as they prepare to rebuild a squad following a disappointing season which end without silverware for the first time in twelve years.
