Chelsea have rolled out the red carpet in their attempts to sign Brazilian teenage sensation Endrick, after hosting his family at the club's training ground.
The 16-year-old Palmeiras striker is one of the world's most sought-after stars, and has the Blues, PSG and Real Madrid all looking to secure a deal ahead of his 18th birthday.
The Blues are confident they are leading the race for his signature, after giving the teenager's family a tour of their Cobham training ground, where they spent time with the club's Brazilian legend Thiago Silva.
Silva is seen as an hero in his home country, and is set to add to his 109 caps at the World Cup later this month.
The left-footed Endrick is Palmeiras' youngest ever player, having made his debut at the age of 16 years and 16 days, and has already scored three goals for the club in Brazil's top tier.
It is believed Endrick’s father, Douglas, has been in discussions with clubs in Europe for the talented teen, who has scored 165 goals in 169 games for the Palmeiras' academy team.
A significant financial package will be required to sign the young star, but his parents are also keen to clarify a pathway and environment for this son to flourish under.
Endrick is being advised by the same sports agency that also represents fellow Brazilian Vinicius Jr, who moved from Flamengo to Real Madrid in 2018.
Any move for the teenage star can be confirmed in early 2023, and the striker would be eligible to move after his 18th birthday the following year.
Chelsea have been forming a new recruitment team under new owner Todd Boehly and have appointed Joe Shield as director, while Christopher Vivell and Paul Winstanley are expected to join him.

Chelsea has too many young talents and it’s hard to add them to the squad. Odoi is on loan we have not sold him. We have Reece, Gallagher, mount, Ruben, and chalaboah in the starting 11 and upcoming Lewis hall. If we keep all talents we can’t afford to give them game and loan them it’s good to sale players knowing we have already back up
we are talking about a striker,U are saying Lewis Hall. so pathetic of u

Clearly you know nothing about the Brazilian kid. We have nothing close to his talent at Chelsea. Young dude is extra ordinary and oozes super brilliance with the ball at his feet. Chelsea has to sign him at all costs 🔥🔥

Not every Brazilian is going to Madrid dude, you said the same about Mbappe and Haaland and look now
My friend, evaluate this hypothesis, Many Spanish players like Bacelona. many Italian players like Juventus, many Germany players like Bayan Munich. So many Brazilian like Real Madrid ? Becus of Neymar relationship with Bacelona, Barca became the second choice for Brazilian. most young Brazilian players don't like England physical football as initial stepping stone to Europe . True or false ? My argument is not based on sentiment .

got a point, but can you tell me how many youngsters are there in this Madrid team whom they have nurtured?
Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Asensio, Casemiro, Marcello, Ramos, Valverde and more all arrived at a young age then matured to stars.

Not Chelsea they don't know how to mature young players just look at young KDB, Abraham, Odoi, Oscar, Lucas piazon and more he should go to Real Madrid Benzema only has maybe 4 more years of active football, he will be a good replacement for Benzema.

Endrick to Chelsea ? Will Chelsea use him or loan him out ? 😂😬😁 He will go to Real Madrid where he is seeing fellow Brazilians Vinicious and Rodrygo playing consistently without age difference between them and others.

He is not going to Real Madrid. You think you can take anyone. Everyone has his own choice.
