Ronaldo Nazario, the legendary Brazilian forward who spent a season at Barcelona, has recently shared his thoughts on the rising star Estevao, who is set to join Chelsea soon.
Ronaldo sees a remarkable similarity between Estevao and Barcelona’s prodigious talent, Lamine Yamal. Both players, according to Ronaldo, have the potential to shine on the global stage in the coming years.
Estevao is already being hailed as one of the most exciting young talents in football. Despite being only 17 years old, he has already shown immense promise and skill on the field.
Ronaldo, who has seen many young talents come and go throughout his career, believes that Estevao has all the qualities needed to become a major player in world football.
He sees Estevao’s development mirroring that of Yamal, who has been turning heads with his performances for Barcelona.
“Estevao is kind of like Lamine Yamal. He will soon be a very big star in football. He’s very promising, and at just 17,” said Ronaldo as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

Estevao, who was once linked to Barcelona, is currently playing for Palmeiras, but his future lies in Europe, with Chelsea set to be his next destination.
Ronaldo predicts that the young Brazilian will play for Palmeiras at the upcoming Club World Cup before making his move to the Premier League.
This transition marks a significant step in Estevao’s career, as he joins one of the most prominent clubs in European football.
Ronaldo’s comparison of Estevao to Yamal highlights the immense potential both players have at such a young age. As football continues to evolve, it is clear that players like Estevao and Yamal are leading the next generation of talent.
With the right development and support, they could dominate the footballing world for years to come, just as Ronaldo did during his illustrious career.
