Estevao secured a £28 million transfer to Chelsea from Palmeiras last summer, with the official agreement expected to finalize this summer.
Enzo Maresca has reportedly decided to retain the young talent following an impressive performance streak.
Last year, he netted 15 goals for Palmeiras and has already scored eight this season.
Estevao, a Brazilian league champion and four-time senior international, is well-known for his astounding goals.
His most recent strike left spectators amazed.
In their Copa Libertadores group stage match against Cerro Porteno, Estevao opened the scoring with a spectacular left-footed shot from outside the box just before halftime.
The powerful strike nearly ripped through the net, contributing to a 2-0 away victory for Palmeiras.

Another remarked, “How does he create such incredible shot power?”
One added, “This is yet another reason we’ll be much stronger next season.”
Another noted, “The best under-18 player in the world, except for Yamal.”
