BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea & Barcelona Fight for Brazil’s Next Big Star! 🇧🇷⚽
Souza’s impressive performances in the Brazilian Serie B this season have caught the eye of major European clubs, with Chelsea and Barcelona reportedly vying to secure the young talent.
Chelsea is considering signing Souza and then loaning him to Strasbourg to aid his development, while Barcelona sees him as a potential addition to strengthen their defensive lineup with young prospects. Additionally, there are unconfirmed reports of interest from a Saudi Arabian club, though the details remain unclear.
Currently under contract with Santos until May 2025, the club is eager to extend his deal to avoid losing him without a transfer fee. Souza has been compared to the legendary Marcelo, and his contributions to Brazil’s youth teams, including their victory at the U-17 South American Championship, underscore his immense potential.
With the January transfer window nearing, the race to sign Souza is intensifying, marking a crucial juncture in the 18-year-old’s career.
