In July 2024, Endrick will definitely settle down at Real Madrid. A date that the Merengues have been impatiently awaiting since his recruitment, in 2022, for the modest sum of 60 million euros. An astronomical transfer for a kid born in 2006, who is still only 17 years old. But the Madrilenians did not hesitate to put down this money. Chelsea, yes. The father of the Brazilian nugget recently spoke to Fabrizio Romano and revealed that the London club was in the process of signing his son, Endrick. “We got an invitation from Chelsea, from the owner, and we went there to see the club and the country. We saw Chelsea play against Arsenal and we had the opportunity to see the coach, the facilities, Jorginho, César Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva.he says.
“They explained everything to us. We were introduced to the person who was going to help us get settled. She showed us the house we would live in, the school Endrick would attend, the church we would attend. Everything went wrong at the last moment: I can’t say 100% because I hadn’t signed yet, but the deal was done. I had already thought I would live in London with all this cold. But then, during the night, my son’s representative called and said that Chelsea’s owner had pulled out of the deal because the price he would have to pay for Endrick would inflate the market. It was 60 million euros in total for a 16-year-old boy who would arrive in the country almost two years later… then, Real Madrid arrived”, explains Endrick’s father. Let’s hope for the Blues that the young star does not become as strong as expected in the Spanish capital, at the risk of biting his fingers…
