The Blues are "working hard" to sign the 16-year-old Palmeiras sensation, who has scored three goals in just six top-flight games, or one every 61 minutes, en route to winning the Brazilian championship.
In his native country, he has already been labeled "the new Neymar," and a number of European clubs are interested in signing him.
Real Madrid, which has a strong recruiting network in South America after signing players like Federico Valverde and Vinicius Junior as teens, had been thought of as the front-runners for his contract for a long. However, Paris Saint-Germain has also expressed interest.
However, according to The Times, Chelsea is making the biggest push to recruit Endrick and has already made a number of offers.
Endrick’s family – and particularly his father, Douglas – will play a massive role in deciding which club the teenager picks and they recently visited west London as Chelsea rolled out the red carpet.
Intriguingly, the Blues also unleashed their secret weapon, introducing Thiago Silva to Endrick’s family while the player himself is also believed to have spent time with the Brazil captain.
