Palmeiras Estevao Willian will face some of the world’s best players when he joins Chelsea next year.
The Blues signed Willian in the summer, and the winger will officially join the Premier League in 2025 when he turns 18 years.
But before that can happen, the teen will play football legend Lionel Messi when they meet at the Club World Cup.
Willian’s current club has been added to the same group as Messi’s Inter Miami at the tournament.
Estevao is stoked for the tournament and is looking forward to playing against Messi.
He already disclosed that he intends to ask for Lionel’s shirt after the match.
Speaking to ESPN, Willian said: “I’m going to ask for his shirt! Who knows, maybe score a goal, win the game… I think that’s the most important thing.”
