Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign highly-rated Brazilian full-back Denner Evangelista from Corinthians in a deal worth €10 million, plus €4 million in add-ons.
The 17-year-old defender will officially join the London club in 2026 on a contract running until 2032.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the move on Sunday via X, stating: “Denner Evangelista to Chelsea, here we go! Deal agreed for the 17-year-old full-back to join Chelsea from Corinthians for €10m plus €4m in add-ons, with taxes covered.”
With all necessary paperwork in place, Evangelista is expected to sign his contract soon, securing a long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
His signing aligns with Chelsea’s strategy of investing in young South American talents, following similar acquisitions in recent transfer windows. Evangelista’s arrival in 2026 will provide Chelsea with another defensive option as they continue building for the future.
Romano added: “Contract until 2032 to be signed soon, as he will join Chelsea in 2026.”
