Estevao\u00a0Willian wants to stay at Chelsea<\/a> and not move to Real Madrid, with the London club also determined to keep the youngster at Stamford Bridge, according to a report.<\/p>\n

It has been a disappointing start to the new season for Estevao<\/a>, who has played only 23 minutes in the Premier League for Xabi Alonso\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

Alonso<\/a>, who was appointed the Chelsea manager at the end of last season, has started Estevao\u00a0in the two Carabao Cup ties for the Blues this campaign.<\/p>\n

There have been rumours throughout September that Estevao\u00a0is not happy at Chelsea and could seek to leave the London club<\/a> in the middle of the season should he struggle to get regular playing time under Alonso in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Barcelona-leaning Catalan publication Sport reported on September 27 that Estevao\u00a0\u2018is unhappy at Chelsea\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While noting Barcelona\u2019s interest in a 2027 deal for the Brazil international winger, Sport<\/a> stated: \u2018A cold war has erupted between the skilful attacker and his coach\u2019.<\/p>\n

According to TEAMtalk, Madrid believe that Estevao could develop into a world-class performer.<\/p>\n

The report has further stated: \u2018Sources close to the situation insist Estevao himself remains settled in west London.<\/p>\n

\u2018The youngster is understood to be thoroughly enjoying life at Chelsea and is determined to establish himself as a regular under head coach Xabi Alonso, dismissing any exit talk.<\/p>\n

\u2018Rather than seeking an immediate exit, the Brazilian is focused on improving his game, adapting to the physical demands of the Premier League and eventually becoming a key figure in Alonso\u2019s plans.\u2019<\/p>\n

Regarding Chelsea\u2019s stance on selling the winger, the report noted that the club\u2019s owners, BlueCo, \u2018have no intention of entertaining offers\u2019 for him.<\/p>\n

The report added: \u2018Having invested significant resources in securing his services, the club regard Estevao as an important part of their future squad-building strategy and are determined to retain him as he continues his development.\u2019<\/p>\n
