Neymar's endorsement further solidifies Estevao's reputation as one of the most promising young players in the sport.

Sources close to Palmeiras management reportedly view Estevao as a future Ballon d'Or contender, considering him to be the brightest talent in the club's ranks. In their eyes, Estevão's potential even surpasses that of Endrick, making him the biggest star in terms of raw talent and future promise.

The young talent has been making waves with his performances, and this call-up marks a significant milestone in his career. Estêvão’s inclusion in the squad is a testament to his rapid development and potential to become a key player for Brazil in the future.
