Teams have the opportunity to sign individuals early in their careers as grassroots football develops in the aim of finding the “next big thing” in the sport.
For instance, players like Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland made their breakthroughs before Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. And the person who takes the throne after you will probably make headlines much sooner.
Brazilian prodigy Endrick is one of the early crown challengers. He has the world’s attention at the age of 16, with clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid among those interested in signing him as early as next season.
It was recently reported that Endrick’s father had booked a vacation to Madrid for the following week, however that information has now been changed.
Endrick’s father was described by Fabrizio Romano as saying, “I did not give any interview, and I never spoke of any travel to Madrid in the following weeks.” “As of now, there are no travel plans.”
The dependable journalist deals a severe blow to Barcelona by asserting that Real Madrid, PSG, and Chelsea are the top candidates to sign him.
In recent weeks, Endrick has been frequently questioned about his future but has steadfastly declined to offer any advice. His father, too, has in the past denied having any preference or pre-agreement with Madrid:
“Neither Real Madrid nor any other club has anything set in stone. We don’t yet have a preference. We’ll make a decision in the coming months regarding which club will sign Endrick and pay what Palmeiras demands while presenting us with the greatest technical proposal.
Given the current situation, Barcelona will need to speed up their attempts to get Endrick; else, it appears like the Brazilian wonderkid will be moving to the Santiago Bernabeu.
