Estevão debuted as a professional player for Palmeiras in the last match of last year’s Brasileirão, as they won the title. His performance on the field earned him the nickname “Messinho” and comparisons with Neymar. The young striker has already played in 10 Brasileirão games, registering two goals and two assists. Estevão has also taken to the field five times with the Brazilian Under 17 team and scored three goals.
