London, England — Chelsea have finalized a deal to sign highly rated Brazilian full-back Denner Evangelista from Corinthians in a transfer worth €10 million, with an additional €4 million in potential add-ons.
The 17-year-old defender is set to officially join the Premier League side in 2026, signing a contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2032.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the agreement on Sunday, 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 formalities completed, Evangelista is expected to sign his contract soon, securing a long-term future with the London club.
His signing aligns with Chelsea’s ongoing strategy of recruiting young South American talents, following similar moves in recent transfer windows.
Evangelista’s arrival in 2026 is anticipated to strengthen Chelsea’s defensive options as they continue their squad rebuild for the future.
