Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United will need to pay €60million (£51million) to sign Endrick Felipe, a Brazilian teenager dubbed as “the next Neymar”.

The 16-year-old wonder-kid became Palmeiras’ youngest ever goalscorer this week, when he netted in Brazil’s Serie A.

Considered one of the hottest prospects in football, Endrick has reportedly attracted interest from Europe's biggest clubs, including Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal.

On the continent Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-German and Bayern Munich are also all said to be monitoring the player, ahead of a possible future approach.

However transfer guru Romano has claimed that it will cost €60 million to prise the youngster away from the Brazilian giants.

The football journalist tweeted: “16 years, 3 months, 4 days. Endrick became the youngest player in the history of Palmeiras to score a goal with the first team.

“Top European clubs are fighting to sign him. €60m release clause into his contract. Born in July 2006. Endrick, remember the name.”

The left-footed wonder-kid, who can play anywhere across the front line, signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras earlier this year.

He has committed to the club until 2025 and allegedly will not make a move until his 18th birthday.

Endrick’s early reputation is reflective of Neymar’s rise to superstardom at a similar age.

The youngster has amassed a whopping 1.4million followers on Instagram, with his notoriety enhanced by a reported record of 170 goals in 172 youth matches.

While the 16-year-old has attributes comparable to Brazilian legend Ronaldo, it is Portugal and Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo who Endrick admires most.

Speaking to Marca earlier this year, he said: “Cristiano Ronaldo, a spectacular man, a phenomenon.

“I have to follow in his footsteps.”
