Brazilian wonderkid Endrick has admitted that he is flattered by interest from Real Madrid, with Liverpool and Manchester City also keen on the teenager.

In an interview with Marca, the 15-year-old attacker revealed that Madrid are the club he hopes to join one day. The Brazilian broke onto the scene earlier in the month after starring for Palmeiras in the Copa Sao Paulo.

With the forward also scoring a ridiculous 165 goals in 169 games across various youth levels for the Sao Paulo giants, it’s no wonder why European clubs are eyeing Endrick, with Esportes reporting that Liverpool and City are keen.

Indeed, the youngster could be the next big thing to come from the South American giants. Yet according to the player himself, Madrid is where Endrick wants to end up when he is old enough to make the move to Europe.

After missing out on Neymar, Madrid have in recent years spent big on Brazilians before they have reached their peak years, with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo signing for Madrid. And Endrick could be the next name on that list.

The teenager said on Madrid’s interest: “It is very special for me to know that Real are watching me and my games. I have to do more, it’s still not good, I have to give more. I still have a way to go.”

It perhaps isn’t much of a surprise that Endrick is an admirer of Madrid. After all, the Spanish giants are one of the biggest clubs in the world and have a strong reputation with Brazil given the names to have played for them over the years.

And for Endrick, the winger could become the latest Brazilian to head to Madrid. And based on his form in recent years, the youngster might take the Spanish club by storm if he wins his dream move.
