It is no secret that Real Madrid need a centre-forward at the earliest. While the team have found alternate sources of goals in Karim Benzema’s absence this season, one cannot deny that they lack the cutting edge in the final third.
Moreover, with the French striker now close to the twilight of his career, the need is more than ever. Multiple reports have said that Los Blancos’ priority in the coming transfer window will be to reinforce the striker position, and Fabrizio Romano has shed more light on the same.
According to the Italian journalist, Real Madrid are pushing to sign Endrick. Romano insists that Los Blancos are ‘obsessed’ with landing the teenage sensation, along with two other clubs.
Real Madrid share a close connection with the Br azilian’s agent who also happens to be the agent of Vinicius Jr. The European Champions are obsessed with the wonderkid and are desperate to bring him to the Bernabeu at the earliest.
At just 16 years of age, Endrick has sent shockwaves with his performances for Palmeiras in recent years. He has scored three goals and an assist in just five appearances for the Br azilian side.
Real Madrid are just one of the multiple European clubs in the running for his signing. Barcelona, PSG, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are some of the others with him on their wishlist.
Nevertheless, it is clear that Carlo Ancelotti’s side are one of the favourites to sign the youngsters, but the likes of Chelsea and PSG pose a serious threat to their chances. It remains to be seen if the club push hard in the coming days to seal the deal.
Even if they do strike an agreement for Endrick, the teenager will only arrive at the club in 2024, when he turns 18 years old.
