Agent confirms £20m Real Madrid target will transfer this winter

Real Madrid have a great record when it comes to signing Brazilian wonderkids and developing them into bonafide superstars at Santiago Bernabeu. We have seen that happen with both Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, who are important parts of Carlo Ancelotti’s first-team plans these days.

Endrick will be arriving at Real Madrid next summer as well. The Palmeiras wonderkid went through a rough spell earlier in the season but has come into his own recently, scoring 4 goals in his past 4 appearances in the Brazilian Serie A.

That kind of form saw him make his debut for the Brazilian national team recently, becoming the fourth youngest ever to do so. Even earlier than the great Ronaldo Nazario, someone Endrick has been compared to even this early in his career.

There is another Brazilian wonderkid who seems to be in Real Madrid’s already though. That is Marcos Leonardo of Santos. And it looks like he will be on the move this winter.

Agent confirms £20m Real Madrid target will transfer this winter

As reported by Relevo, Rafaela Pimenta said when talking about Leonardo potentially moving to Europe:

"“Already in the previous market he had the possibility of being transferred, but Santos’ sporting situation was very particular. He agreed to stay because he wanted to help until the end of the championship. He didn’t want to leave because it wasn’t the right thing to do. But his time to make a transfer has come. He wants to live a European experience and his time will come this winter.”"

Leonard is 20 years of age and currently plays for Santos. He has been a key player for the historic Brazilian club as well in their quest to avoid relegation.

He has scored 13 goals in the Brazilian Serie A this season, the fourth highest in the competition. That is the same number as that of Hulk and one less than Luis Suarez.

There is a competition to sign him and understandably so. Clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal and several others are believed to be interested in the 20-year-old as well. Let’s see what the future holds for him. And as reported by 90min, Santos will look for a transfer fee of around £20 million to part ways with Leonardo.
