Real Madrid and Barcelona ahead to secure Palmeiras 15 year old Brazilian 

Palmeiras prodigy Endrick is considered the next sensation of Brazilian football.

The Palmeiras forward is just 15 but has caught the eye of Europe’s elite teams and would want to secure the signature of the teenager.

It’s a crowded race that includes Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

The Brazilian teenagers contract with Palmeiras includes a release clause of €17m but could cost more as teams are desperate to land him in the future.

However, FIFA regulation prevent any European club from signing him until he turns 18, meaning he wouldn’t be able to play on other continent until the 2024/25 season.

A bidding war is already emerging for his signature and there are some claiming that the Brazilian club should wait for higher fee in a couple of years’ time above the current price of 30-40 million euros.

Real Madrid seem to be in the lead when it comes to signing the 15 year old and are keen to wrap up a deal with Palmeiras in the near future.

Barcelona are main rivals to Madrid for signing of this kind, but are now in financial crises and can’t really afford to pay that kind of money for a future investment at the moment

Endrick would be able to reach a verbal agreement with a club right now, but he cannot sign a professional contract until he is 16 years old. Then, two years later on his 18th birthday, he would be able to join up with a European team.

The signing of Endrick is potentially a huge gamble, but given the talent that the Palmeiras prodigy has already shown at 15, it’s no surprise that there are a queue of clubs looking to sign him.
