Real Madrid has long been associated with the pursuit of Kylian Mbappe, a transfer saga that has tantalized fans for years.
While nothing concrete has materialized thus far, there’s hope that next summer could finally bring a change in the status quo, especially when Mbappe’s current contract with PSG comes to an end.
Naturally, in the world of football transfers, nothing is set in stone, and the possibility of Mbappe extending his stay with the Ligue 1 giants can’t be ruled out.
However, the prospect of Mbappe donning the white jersey of Real Madrid appears to be the most plausible outcome in this enduring narrative. It’s a case of “better late than never.”
Yet, amid all the speculation surrounding high-profile transfers, one player who’s unquestionably heading to Real Madrid next summer is Endrick.
The club has already secured a transfer deal with Palmeiras worth €60 million for this Brazilian wonderkid, who will officially arrive in the Spanish capital when he turns 18.
The intriguing twist here is that if Real Madrid successfully acquires Mbappe, they could potentially find themselves competing for the same position. Surprisingly, it seems that Endrick himself is rooting for the club to bring in the French superstar.
Endrick recently voiced his opinion on Real Madrid’s potential acquisition of Mbappe in an interview with TNT Sports:
“Of course, Endrick has more immediate concerns than the Mbappe transfer saga.
The Brazilian wonderkid, while initially enjoying a bright start in senior-level football, has experienced a dip in form recently. At present, he has lost his status as a regular starter for Palmeiras and is often left out of the matchday squad.
This situation might not align with Real Madrid’s expectations for a player they’ve committed a hefty €60 million transfer package for, especially considering the comparisons drawn between Endrick and the legendary Ronaldo Nazario.
It’s worth noting that Endrick is a mere 17 years old, with plenty of time ahead to develop and adjust to senior-level football. It’s crucial not to burden him with excessive pressure during this early phase of his career.
