Real Madrid lead the race for the signature of Brazilian talent Endrick, reports marca. The attacker is only fifteen years old and is still waiting for his debut for Palmeiras, but can nevertheless count on interest from the entire European top. In addition to Real, he is also said to have attracted the attention of Barcelona, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, among others.
Over the past few weeks, compilation videos of Endrick’s highlights as a youth player for Palmeiras have surfaced. He recently scored with a bicycle kick at the Copinha, a prestigious Under-20 tournament in São Paulo. Palmeiras has great expectations of the youngster, who scored five goals in three matches in this youth tournament, in which he played just 90 minutes. The attacker has an escape clause of 17 million euros in his youth contract, but can only sign with a club outside Brazil when he is 18 years old.
Although Endrick can only join a European club in at least two and a half years, the battle for his signature is already in full swing. According to marca Endrick can count on interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, some of whom have already contacted Palmeiras directly or even met with the player’s family.
However, Real would have the best papers to tie Endrick. His compatriot Vinicius Junior has contacted him and sent him a signed shirt, while his real estate agency TFM maintains good ties with the Madrid club. The current LaLiga frontrunner reached an agreement with Flamengo in 2017 on Vinicius worth €45 million, €15 million more than his breakout clause when he had just turned 17. Vinicius eventually left for the club a year later, where he is now an important basic force. The Brazilian attacker has so far scored 12 goals and 6 assists in 21 games at Real this season.
