Estevao Willian set for January loan move to PSG
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly willing to sign Chelsea youngster Estevao Willian on a six-month loan deal during the January transfer window.
French Ligue 1 giant, PSG are actively scouring the market for a new forward ahead of the winter transfer window as physical setbacks continue to mount at the Parc des Princes.
Injuries to senior players like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele has put the club in a difficult situation.
While emerging talents Mika Godts and Senny Mayulu stepped up to guide the club to the top of Ligue 1 against Lyon on Monday, PSG believes new addition is needed before the season finale.

According to Foot01, Chelsea’s highly-rated Brazilian teenager Estevao has emerged as a definitive target.
The 19-year-old, who arrived at Stamford Bridge from Palmeiras in July 2025, has struggled to cement a regular place in the starting XI and is yet to make a single Premier League start.
Despite his inability to break into Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea team, PSG manager Luis Enrique and sporting advisor Luis Campos are willing to have him on board.
The consensus between the two influential figures is considered a significant boost to a potential deal, with Enrique convinced he can maximise and develop Estevao’s output during a short-term spell in France.
TEAMtalk report that discussions between the two clubs have already commenced, with Chelsea demanding specific conditions regarding the winger’s contract, salary, and playing time.
Chelsea want only a straight loan, as they believe the South American still possess a brilliant long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
Furthermore, they expect PSG to cover the entirety of the player’s wages. Chelsea are also pushing to include a financial penalty clause should Estevao fail to hit a mandatory threshold of minutes on the pitch.
While an official announcement has not been made, reports suggest that Chelsea have already agreed in principle to let the Brazilian depart for Paris this winter.
