Chelsea transfer blow as Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, 16, to tour Real Madrid this month just weeks after Blues visit
CHELSEA have been dealt a blow with 16-year-old wonderkid Endrick set to discuss talks over a proposed move to Real Madrid.
The Blues, along with PSG, are interested in signing the teenage star, but he’s now expected to travel to the Spanish capital later this month.

Endrick, currently playing for Brazilian club Palmeiras, only made his senior debut last month.
But the forward has made a bright start to his first-team career, scoring three goals in seven games.
He’s also scored five goals in four Brazil Under-16 games, including against England earlier this year.
Endrick has been learning English and has dreams of playing in the Champions League.

He said: “I’m not gonna answer about my future club.
“Of course, I’d like to play Champions League in 2, 3 or 4 years.”
“I’m open to all the clubs, waiting for the best proposal for me and my family.”
Chelsea have held meetings with the star, but they now appear to have fallen behind Real Madrid in the race.

Endrick’s father Douglas said: “We’ll travel to Madrid at the end of this month.
“After that conversation, Real Madrid will await a response from us to see if they should come and make a bid to Palmeiras.”
