Barcelona Monitor Estêvão as Chelsea Frustration Grows
Barcelona are reportedly monitoring Chelsea winger Estêvão Willian amid claims that he is unhappy with his limited role under head coach Xabi Alonso. The Brazilian teenager has struggled for regular minutes this season and has reportedly been asked to play as a right wing-back in Alonso’s 3-4-3 system. He was used only briefly in Chelsea’s recent Premier League win over Brentford. Reports also suggest Estêvão is uncomfortable with the physical demands of the role. He has publicly played down talk of a rift, saying he respects the manager’s decisions. Barcelona previously tracked Estêvão during his Palmeiras days but did not match Chelsea’s offer. Any potential move would depend on whether his situation at Stamford Bridge worsens.
