Real Madrid calm over their pursuit of 16-year-old wonderkid also on Barcelona’s radar | OneFootball

Since Endrick has started to generate a ton of hype as arguably the most gifted youngster in Brazilian football, Real Madrid have been linked with a move for him in the near future.

However, the likes of Barcelona and Manchester United have been reported to be eyeing a switch for the teenage sensation. The latter are said to have made contact with Palmeiras about a move for the 16-year-old whizkid.

Despite the speculation around other top European sides being interested in signing the prodigious striker, a key factor behind why Los Blancos remain confident about being frontrunners in the race for his signature have been revealed.

As per the latest information provided by MARCA, Real Madrid are well informed about each and every move around the Palmeiras prodigy, as he shares the same agency with none other than Vinicius Jr.

Keeping this in mind, it has been affirmed that the club are ‘calm’ about all the rumours surrounding the in-demand talent.

Ultimately, it is next to impossible to look past the European champions when it comes to a club that has a stranglehold over the Brazilian market.

The signings of Casemiro, Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo from Sao Paulo, Flamengo and Santos respectively were coups that emphasised that the Spanish giants were truly ahead of the curve.

Snapping up three unearthed gems and turning them into some of the very best players in their position, the side from the Spanish capital cannot be questioned when it comes to their eye for talent in Brazil, with Endrick at the top of their agenda currently despite links to the likes of Joao Gomes and Matheus Nascimento, among others.

It is expected that a number of other top sides will not relent in their pursuit to sign the highly-rated wonderkid. However, Real Madrid tend to win any and every transfer race, considering the size of the club and the project in place. The same is likely to occur in Endrick’s case.
