Gossip: Barcelona keeping an eye on Estevao’s situation at Chelsea

Barcelona sporting director Deco is reportedly monitoring Estevao Willian's situation at Chelsea following a difficult start to the season. The Brazilian winger, who previously joined Chelsea from Palmeiras on a permanent deal, has played only 23 minutes under manager Xabi Alonso so far this campaign and is growing frustrated with his playing time.

Reports indicate disagreements have emerged over the club's desire for Estevao to gain muscle mass, with the player fearing it could diminish his speed and offensive ability. While there is no immediate indication Estevao wants to leave Chelsea, his agent noted the player retains affection for Barcelona.
