It’s FC Barcelona’s turn to put pressure on the Endrick file. A few days ago, the father of the 16-year-old Brazilian crack broke into a rather noticeable media outing, in favor of PSG. “Paris Saint-Germain is the only club that has opened negotiations with Palmeiras with an official proposal. Things are like that now. There are a lot of clubs who want it, but PSG are the only ones who have moved., he explained. In continuity, we then learned that the club of the French capital had also offered 80 million euros to Palmeiras to achieve a sacred double blow.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Luis Campos and their gang have indeed submitted an offer of €50 million (plus €30 million in bonuses) to win the services of Endrick and Estevão Willian (15), known as “Messinho “, the other nugget of the Auriverde formation. But now, the two young people will not be able to put their suitcases in Europe before they are 18 years old. Until then, the battle promises since other cadors of the Old Continent, such as Chelsea, Real Madrid or even FC Barcelona, intend to win the bet for Endrick. The Blaugranas have also come out of the woods through their coach, Xavi Hernandez, in order to better position themselves on this thorny issue.
Xavi and Barca determined to seduce Endrick to catch up
Determined to take the lead, the Catalans pulled out all the stops to convince the young phenomenon to join Camp Nou in two years. “We spoke with his father and also directly with the playerrevealed in this sense Xavi, during an interview granted to ESPN this Saturday, before continuing. I explained the project we have in Barcelona. We want talent and it’s talent, capable of making the difference. He has the goal, he has the dribble, he has a brutal ability to make the difference. He is a player of the present, who already plays in the Brazilian league, and also of the future. »
And the former Spanish midfielder to clearly express his desire to recruit Endrick. “He’s the type of player we need. He already knows the project we have in Barcelona and we are talking. I hope he will become our player. It depends on him. It always depends on the player. Usually a player will end up playing where they want to play. So it’s a very personal decision for Endrick. » Aware of already having a small train of delay for Endrick, Barça plays the card of seduction. It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to charm the principal concerned, for whom the Verdão hope to receive a check for €60 million. The soap opera promises, the suspense remains intact.
