Brazil national team manager Carlo Ancelotti has seemingly named Estêvão to his 2026 FIFA World Cup roster.
Described by the Italian as a “very, very special player,” Estêvão has already amassed 11 caps and five goals for Brazil. The 18-year-old has made a big impression on both his national team manager and Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca so far after moving from Palmeiras in the summer for £29 million ($38 million).
So much so that Ancelotti was even willing to allocate a roster spot to the Chelsea starlet despite whatever uncertainty might arise between now and the World Cup.
“I think so. Based on how Estêvão has played in the last six months, I think so. Estêvão will be at the World Cup,” Ancelotti told (via ).
