Chelsea will add a Brazilian to their ranks in 2026 after he has agreed a deal for Denner Evangelista has been claimed.
The blues have regularly recruited from Brazil in recent seasons, with Wonderkid Estevao Willian who participated in the summer. Theivive Washington and Andrey Santos are currently on loan, while Angelo Gabriel left for Al-Nassr in September.
Derner, a left back, is expected to participate next year after he turns 18. The teenager is a cousin of Arsenal Center-back Gabriel Magalhaes and is covered by Brazil at age group level.
He is currently in the books of Corinthians, who have his own Chelsea connection. Former blues wing Willian, now in Fulham, started his own gaming career at the Sao Paulo Club.
According to De Standaard, Dender will join Chelsea for £ 11.5 million including add-ons. The same exhaust that claims cited in the Brazilian media that the Sao Paulo side will also contain a 15 percent clause.
Denner is supposed to be impressed by Chelsea – and other clubs – with his performances in the Copinha. Corinthians have the record for most victories in the competition, which is played between 20 games in the Sao Paulo region, and their left back of the teenager scored when they lost the final of 2025 to Sao Paulo.
A number of top talents have impressed the tournament before they earn relocations to Europe. Arsenal -striker Gabriel Jesus and Manchester United Winger have both been appointed player of the tournament in recent years, just like Real Madrid Starlet Endrick.
While Chelsea waits a long time for Denner, his fellow countryman Estevao Willian will participate much earlier. The Palmeiras attacker scored five goals this period in 11 Campeonato Paulista onions and found it just 13 times in Brazil in 2024 in Brazil.
He made his senior debut for the Brazilian national team in September and played three more games in the qualification of the World Cup. The Dorival Junior team is in fifth place in the South -American classification after 12 games, whereby the top six teams automatically qualify for the final in North America in 2026.
In October the Young Forward spoke to the Guardian about a message that he had received from one of his future teammates. “When I drew for Chelsea the next day, I scored a goal and I celebrated as [Cole] Palmer, “he said.
“His celebration was a trend, very popular. We spoke on social media, I tagged him on Instagram, he called me a star, I said he is also a star. He said we would do many great things together for Chelsea.”
