Real Madrid complete deal for 16-year-old Endrick

Real Madrid have reached an agreement to sign highly-rated Brazilian teenager Endrick.

The Spanish giants issued a statement on Thursday afternoon saying they had reached agreement with the 16-year-old's current club Palmeiras for him to move to Madrid in the summer of 2024, once he turns 18.

Endrick, regarded as one of the brightest young talents in the world at the moment, is reported to have agreed a five-year contract.

"Endrick and his family have reached an agreement whereby the player will be able to join Real Madrid when he reaches the age of maturity in July 2024," a statement from Real read.

"Until then, Endrick will continue his training at Palmeiras. The player will travel to Madrid in the coming days to visit the facilities of our club."

Chelsea, Barcelona and Paris St Germain were also reported to be interested in the forward, who became the youngest player ever to feature in a senior game for Palmeiras when he played against Coritiba in October aged 16 years, two months and 16 days.
