Addressing reporters, the former Portuguese footballer stated, “I will personally request our president, Leila, to resist any temptation to sell Willian Estêvão. Regardless of any disappointments from his family or agent, I am adamant that he should continue with us until 2027.”
In a glowing appraisal, Ferreira added, “Believe me, this young boy possesses a special talent. Willian Estêvão is truly exceptional and stands out like nothing I have ever witnessed in my career.”
