Rafael Reis: Estêão could become the most expensive teenager in football history; see list

With only 17 matches played as a professional, Estêvão could become the most expensive teenager in the history of world football.

If the sale of the 17-year-old midfielder to Chelsea for 65 million euros ($361.5 million) is confirmed Palmeiras’ number 41 will be involved in the biggest transfer ever seen involving an athlete who has not reached legal age.

The information about the agreement between the Brazilian club and the English buyer for a record amount was first reported on Friday by Argentine journalist César Luis Merlo, who is an expert in global Transfer Market coverage, and is still pending confirmation.
