Endrick was about to join Chelsea before signing with Real Madrid

Endrick will become one of the next jewels of Real Madrid, who opted for the young Brazilian promise. However, before reaching an agreement with the Merengues, the player could become a star signing for Chelsea.

This is how the footballer’s father told it, Douglas, who pointed out that they received a direct invitation from the owners of the London club, and that they even traveled to England to meet the team and where they would settle. “We saw Chelsea play against Arsenal and we had the opportunity to see the coach, the facilities, Jorginhoa César Azpilicueta already Thiago Silva“.

“They explained everything to us. They introduced us to the person who would help us get settled. She showed us the house we would live in, the school Endrick would attend, the church we would attend. Everything was in order for us and Chelsea” , said the footballer’s father, who acknowledged that everything was not 100 percent, since he had not signed, but that they had closed the agreement

However, at the last minute the signing fell apart, when even Douglas had already seen himself living in London. “But then in the evening my son’s agent called and said that the Chelsea owner backed out of the deal because the price they would have to pay for Endrick would inflate the market.”

“It was €60m in total for a 16-year-old boy who would arrive in the country almost two years later. …then Real Madrid arrived,” Endrick’s father said.
