Endrick’s couple of appearances in the Copa São Paulo were more than enough for him to become the most famous youngster in Brazilian football today.
Playing at an U20 tournament, the 15-year-old already has four goals in those two games, and it’s no wonder why his name is already being linked to European clubs.
Manchester United are one of them, with reports from last week claiming that the Red Devils were one of the sides who got in touch with his entourage.
Now in a new piece from R7, columnist Cosme Rimoli writes about the many clubs who lost the chance of signing the teenager in the past and those who want him for the future.
Palmeiras are of course aware of the big interest the forward has been drawing, and are looking to formally protect him as soon as they can.
Since Endrick is still to turn 16, he can’t sign a professional contract yet. However, his club already have a deal lined up for the middle of the year, where they’ll include a huge release clause.
Palmeiras’ plan is said to be to hold him for now, and then make a big profit with his sale. It may take a few years until his transfer to Europe takes place, but we’re already sure his name will be very much mentioned in the rumour mill.
