Amid Estevao’s struggles for regular game time in the 2026-27 campaign, Pat Nevin has explained to GOAL why the Brazilian wonder is a “great player, but probably not for Chelsea”. The 19-year-old forward finds himself stuck behind Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers at Stamford Bridge, leading to inevitable transfer speculation being sparked.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has insisted both his club and national side will continue to move forward following the departures of Mohamed Salah and Neymar. The Brazilian shot-stopper confessed to feeling deeply nostalgic about his former team-mates but remains confident that new attacking arrivals and squad renewals will bring real success.
Barcelona star Raphinha has been surprisingly left off the 30-man list of contenders for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, but Anderson has told GOAL that his fellow Brazilian would miss out on a “top three” finish regardless. The South American forward has been posting Ronaldo-esque goal numbers at the start of 2026-27, but does not find himself in the running for a prestigious Golden Ball.
