Goes for Brazil's 'gem': Real Madrid beats PSG and sets its sights on Endrick.

Real Madrid has just secured the Ballon d'Or: Karim Benzema became a trophy a few days ago. The French forward, who will turn 35 years old in December, will renew with the white club until 2024 and has a desire to retire at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, the Madrid team is already preparing for a future without him, hoping to sign another Brazilian, as they did in the past with Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior.

In that sense, without losing sight of those currently at Chamartin, there are two names that Madrid is considering away from the capital for 2024. The first is Erling Haaland, who by then will have a release clause of 200 million euros. And the second is Endrick, the 'jewel' of Palmeiras, who has caught the attention of several important teams in Europe.

The Brazilian turned 16 a few months ago and signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras, where he has only played 60 minutes so far, but the sensations are more than positive. That's why the 'Verdao' knows that it will be difficult to keep him in the country amidst the interest of the big clubs.

The consequence of this is that the bidding has already started. The first move has come from PSG, who are clear that they must copy the strategy of other teams, especially that of Real Madrid, to incorporate young talent. Even in Brazil, there is talk of 20 million euros that the Qatari team has put on the table as a first proposal, far from the 35-40 million for which the Brazilian team would be willing to sign a commitment for a year and a half from now.

However, as often happens, the white team has already started working quietly for Endrick. To date, there is no agreement with any club, but it is true that the Madrid entity has come very close to the player and his surroundings.

First assist in the Endrick era

It was 12 minutes of pure talent, high pressure, commitment, verticality, and even chances, but the best came in a break on the right side where with his less skilled foot and showing that he has no limits right now, Endrick, who is compared to Eden Hazard, made the first goal-scoring step of his career against Avaí with a cross to the far post that Vanderlan would end up pushing under the goal.
