Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Real Madrid has beaten rival clubs to the signing of the highly sought-after Endrick.

The 16 year old Brazilian attacker was wanted by Chelsea, and his family visited Chelsea’s Cobham training centre last month as the Blues pushed to convince the teenager.

Barcelona, Manchester City and Manchester United have all been linked with the teenager as well. But Romano has confirmed that Madrid has sealed a deal for the youngster.

Romano wrote: “Endrick to Real Madrid, here we go! Full verbal agreement in place as reported 2 days ago, it’s now closed.

“Real Madrid will pay €60m to Palmeiras plus €12m taxes.

“Brazilian gem [born in 2006] will join [Real Madrid] in July 2024.

“Real Madrid plan to sign all documents within December.”

Romano added: “Important to add: nothing signed yet for Endrick deal and it should take some days, but there’s full verbal agreement between all parties, clubs and player. It’s done — will be sealed soon.”
