Real Madrid have shown an incredible eye when it comes to picking out the best young talents from Brazil and signing them, before turning them into superstars at Santiago Bernabeu. The prime example of this strategy are Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, both of whom have gone on to become first-team stars with Los Blancos over the years.

Now, it looks like Real Madrid naturally have their eye on Endrick as well, who is being hyped up as the biggest talent in Brazilian football since Neymar.

Endrick’s numbers and performances at the youth levels are staggering, and that has led to him being linked with most of the biggest clubs around Europe. But it looks like Real Madrid might be in the lead in the race for his signature.

As reported by Marca, Real Madrid moved quietly and field work has been done. There is no agreement, but it is true that the European champions have become very close to the footballer and his environment. Now it’s time to decide whether or not to present an offer to Palmeiras.

Real Madrid might be leading the race to sign Endrick ahead of Chelsea, PSG, Barcelona and others

Several of Europe’s top clubs like PSG, Chelsea, Barcelona and more are believed to be interested in signing Endrick but it looks like Real Madrid might have placed themselves in the best position.

Endrick has just started playing senior football and made his first few appearances for Palmeiras. He is still just 16 years of age as well and will not be able to travel to Europe before he is 18.

Thus, he would be a long-term signing and thus, clubs have time to assess how he does at the senior level before making a concrete move to sign him from Palmeiras for a significant transfer fee.
