The teenage star has travelled across Europe to meet representatives from several elite clubs.

The transfer race for Endrick Felipe is taking shape, with three European giants leading the race to sign him.

The 16-year-old has taken the Brazilian league by storm, signing his first professional contract at Palmeiras. 

The club has put a €60m release clause in Endrick’s contract. However, that hasn’t fended off his heavyweight European suitors. 

According to 90min, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain are the main clubs competing for the Brazilin starlet’s signature.

Other reports from Spanish media claim Barcelona are also closely following Endrick’s situation despite their financial problems.

The Palmeiras star won’t be able to join a European club until he’s 18. But he has already started meeting with a number of clubs to possibly decide on a pre-contract agreement.

Real Madrid’s chief scout, Juni Calafat, who has added the likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde to Real Madrid’s ranks, is pushing hard to secure Endrick’s signature.

However, Chelsea have recently emerged as a strong competitor in the transfer race. 

Todd Boehly has shown serious interest in signing youngsters since taking over the London club, with Endrick reportedly travelling to Stamford Bridge earlier this week.

Paris Saint-Germain have stayed relatively quiet until now. But their massive financial resources make them difficult to beat in any transfer race.
