From the source

Barcelona have one of the best right-wingers in the world in Lamine Yamal. The Spanish teenager and Michael Olise are widely considered the two best players in their position.

One starlet with the potential to reach that level in the coming years is Chelsea winger Estevao Willian. The Brazilian joined the Blues from Palmeiras at the beginning of last season and enjoyed a good first campaign in England.

However, he has found game time hard to come by under Xabi Alonso, and Barcelona have been linked with a move for the teenager. According to Fabrizio Romano, however, there are no negotiations between Barcelona and Chelsea for Estevao, not even over a possible loan move.
