Chelsea eye up £51m Brazilian wonder-kid who Liverpool 'sounded out'

Chelsea are now looking at bringing in teenage sensation Endrick, who Liverpool have shown interest in this summer.

Endrick - a 16-year-old who burst onto the scene in the 2022 Copinha for Palmeiras and won the best player award (in an Under-23 competition) - is now top of their list.

He scored an absolutely outrageous goal in the quarter-final too, which went viral on social media.

Sky Sports have also claimed Liverpool want Endrick. Though, it’s worth mentioning that those two reports came when the striker was still 15.

Liverpool did register interest in two big-money young Brazilians in the past, and both have gone on to be roaring successes.

At such a young age it is difficult to really predict what Endrick will become. He hasn’t stopped developing, and at such a formative period, it may be seen as a big risk for a club to shell out such an extortionate amount of money.

However, if Endrick does become the roaring success he is tipped to become, £51m may seem like pennies.
