Real Madrid close to finishing at Brazil striker Endrick

Change planned for 2024

Speculations first circulated in January 2022 that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona were vying for the services of 16-year-old striker Endrick. Almost a year later, a deal appears to be imminent: How “UOL Esports” and the Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano unanimously report that the “Royal” have most likely won the race for the promising youngster from SE Palmeiras São Paulo. Accordingly, the conclusion of a contract is in the final stages.

Part of this agreement is a transfer fee of 60 million euros plus taxes – the package should total 72 million euros – the Madrilenians want to wrap up the transfer as soon as possible. Everything has already been settled between Endrick and Real himself. A record beckons: no player under the age of 18 has ever paid as much money.

Offensive talent Endrick is scheduled to switch to the Spanish heavyweight division in the second half of 2024 – when he comes of age. In addition to Barcelona, ​​Chelsea have also increased their efforts, but Real have already cleared all bureaucratic hurdles and brought the deal to the finish line. In general, almost every top club in the TM rumor mill has been linked to Endrick. “Paris Saint-Germain is the only club that has started negotiations with Palmeiras with an official offer,” said father Douglas recently (quoted via Fabrizio Romano). “There are many clubs from different countries who would like to sign him. PSG have already moved.”

PSG reportedly want to pay 80m – Endrick’s side met with Europe’s top clubs

According to ESPN, the French champions are said to be willing to spend around €80m on Endrick and Estevão, who is even a year younger than him and plays in Palmeiras’ U17s. However, the club from São Paulo refused, wanting at least 60 million euros just for Endrick, which corresponds to the exit clause in his contract, which runs until 2025. The decisive meeting with Real probably took place at the end of November. Player father Douglas had announced such a thing (quoted via Fabrizio Romano): “After this conversation, Real Madrid will wait for an answer from us to see whether they should make an offer to Palmeiras.” At the end of November, FC Barcelona coach Xavi also confirmed a meeting with Endrick.

In the most recent market value update in Brazil, the Stirmjuwel was once again given an increase of 5 million to 20 million euros as a result of his convincing debut in the Série A, making him one of the top 3 most valuable players in the Campeonato Brasileiro. The left-footed player, who has been traded as the greatest hope for youngsters for years and is the world’s most valuable player under the age of 18, managed four goals in seven games. His probable goal has presented itself as a good place for Brazilian talents in recent years: Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo moved to Madrid on their 18th birthdays for €45m each and rose to the top of the world there.
