Endrick is one of Brazilian football’s emerging talents and there is increasing interest in him, with some of Europe’s top sides looking to make a move for him.

The 16-year-old starlet made his senior debut for the Brazilian side just last month, becoming their youngest-ever player at just 16 years and two months.

He also scored his first senior goals for Palmeiras in October, becoming the second-youngest goalscorer in Brazilian top-flight history, giving him a great sheet of records already.

Interest in him mainly comes from Real Madrid and Chelsea, who have been in talks with representatives of the player over the last few months.

Endrick will be expensive

Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, it’s been confirmed that Real Madrid and Chelsea are the frontrunners for his signature and will spend big to land him in the future.

He will cost around €60 million for the overall deal, making him one of the most expensive teenagers of all time and another big-money export from Brazil.

Endrick’s father and representatives that support Real Madrid talent Vinicius Jr. are working on the player’s future and could be involved in facilitating any future transfer.

Real Madrid are still believed to be more advanced in the negotiations and leading the race to sign the player, adding to the deals they’ve done with Brazilian talents in recent years.

They’ve signed players like Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo and Reinier Jesus over the last few years and Endrick could be the latest to join that list.

Endrick can only move in 2024 once he turns 18, however, a deal can be signed before that, meaning clubs are preparing packages that may tempt him.

It’s believed that his family are prioritizing moves that would allow him to develop and grow as a player and they also want to get a great deal in the process.
