16-year-old Palmeiras striker Endrick is wanted by both PSG and Chelsea, with the Brazilian club reportedly rejecting the Ligue 1 side's £40million offer for the teenage sensation.
Endrick is one of the world's brightest up and coming talents since bursting onto the scene with Brazilian Serie A side Palmeiras in July, and has caught the attention of a host of European giants.
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.
A shortage of standout strikers has seen European sides begin to ramp up their attempts to sign Endrick with big-spenders Paris Saint-Germain having their initial bid waved away, according to an update on Reddit.

Palmeiras have reportedly inserted a £53million into Endrick's contract with PSG willing to pay the quotes amount to release the star. However, Chelsea have stated they will match any offer for the striker.
Chelsea manager Graham Potter is keen to capture the highly-sought after talent with the London outfit recently hosting the Brazilian and his entourage at their Cobham training ground.

Chelsea are confident that the VIP tour has put them in the driving seat to land the Palmeiras academy product with the club keen to wrap up a deal during the current off-season in Brazil following the conclusion of the season in South-America.
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.
