Can the 15-year-old child be signed? How much can a footballer be worth who has not gone beyond competing in lower categories? When could I travel to Europe to play? The truth is the auction has already started although he can’t play until the 24-25 season on the old continent. And Real Madrid seems to be ahead, as the player from Palmeiras himself demonstrated on his social networks.
As we have been telling in MARCA, Endrick has become the new pearl of world football. little matter the 15 to how old the Palmeiras striker is. The greats of world football have noticed a young talent, who doesn’t mind competing with footballers up to five years older than him, as he is showing in Copinha. He exudes impudence, daring and, above all, category and success when deciding.
You are talking about a a figure between 30 and 40 million euros to close a signing camouflaged as a compulsory purchase option for two and a half years from now. Football today goes very fast and the teams know that they are facing a market situation that they should not let go.
The Palmeiras leaders are facing a delicate decision. Receiving that amount of money for a 15-year-old boy would solve all the financial problems of the entity for a long time.. However, there are many soccer players who think that the Brazilian club should wait. They talk about Endrick as a value to be defined, aiming much higher than his current value may be.
The white precedents
The last three Real Madrid signings in the Brazilian market had to wait until they came of age to be able to travel to the Spanish capital. Vinicius, Rodrygo and Reinier committed to the white club before coming of age, but complying with all the rules. Neymar, at the time, also decided his future without having those 18 years established by FIFA law so that a footballer can change country.
Endrick he can get engaged tomorrow, but until he is 16 he cannot sign a professional contract and until two years later he will not be able to travel to Spain or any other European country to be a footballer for the team in question. It is a bet for the future, although some consider it risky, but today’s football does not understand pause, maturation. Endrick will have something when the fight for a 15-year-old boy has already started.
