Earlier, from the Spanish "Daily Sport" news, the current real Madrid, Barca and Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and other 5 giants are paying attention to Palmeiras's 15-year-old talented teenager Endric. According to ESPN, Real Madrid has sent 2 scouts to investigate and evaluate Endric, and has been in contact with his agent for a period of time.
Brazilian football is full of talent, and almost every year there are top talents that make European giants flock to the forefront. Although He is only 15 years old, He is already famous in Brazil. He has even been compared to Brazilian legends Ronaldo and Romario.
Coming from the academy of Palmeiras, Henrik mainly plays as a centre-forward on the pitch and is also capable of playing both flanks. While in the youth team, he scored 167 goals in 170 games and was a goal machine for players of his own age. Although he has not yet been able to sign a professional contract with Palmeiras, he has trained with the first team and has begun to represent Palmeiras U21 in the São Paulo Junior Cup. In his debut, Endric won two dollars. One of them was scored by two people in a row after a steal in front. The 15-year-old age against players 3-4 years older than themselves, not only technically crushing opponents, physical confrontation is not inferior, such a performance quickly attracted the attention of world football.
According to FIFA regulations, Endric cannot land in Europe until the age of 18, which means he will not be able to officially play for the European giants until at least 2024. But this certainly can't stop the giants from seeking talent, because they can sign early and then wait until they are 18 years old before officially joining. So how sure are the 5 giants mentioned above to get Endric? Real Madrid certainly has the greatest stakes.
In recent years, Real Madrid have stepped up their pursuit of young talents and have gained a lot from seeing Brazil as a key area to investigate. Brazil's "post-00s three masters" Vinicius, Rodrigo and Renier have all been taken by Real Madrid. Vinicius has begun to stand alone in the first team, scoring 15 goals and assisting 7 times in 27 games this season; Rodrigo is also steadily cashing in on his potential, scoring 2 goals and 5 assists in 23 games. How could Nedrik, who is known as a super genius, escape Real Madrid's scouting network?
It is worth mentioning that Endric and Vinicius have a common broker. Real Madrid got the 17-year-old Vinicius in advance in 2018 and then let him officially join when he turned 18. Having had a similar experience, Real Madrid went much smoother when it came to trading with Ndrique's agent. In addition, according to Vinicius's current development momentum, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the "first brother" of the Brazilian national team. If Vinicius acts as a lobbyist, Real Madrid's odds of winning are further increased.
Real Madrid's biggest competitor? Barca, Camp Nou is also fertile ground for Brazilian players. But after Endric turns 16, signing a professional contract with Palmeiras will certainly include a sky-high termination clause, which is a big obstacle for Barca.
The Premier League is not suitable for the first stop in Europe as a South American player, and giants like Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool are fiercely competitive and stressful, which is not conducive to the growth of young players. In the history of Manchester United, there are very few successful examples of South American players, and Brazilian players are even more blank. That year's European Golden Boy Awards Anderson had high hopes, and eventually disappeared into the crowd. It is impossible not to use these as reference factors for Endric's future choices.
The value of today's football players has generally risen, and young people who are highly malleable but have not fully played out have become the focus of competition among giants. When Real Madrid brought in Vinicius three years ago, the transfer fee was 45 million euros, and now his value has risen to 100 million euros. Real Madrid, which has tasted the sweetness, will not miss the super genius of Endric.
