Chelsea have promised Brazilian wonderkid Endrick that he will have a place in the first-team if he makes the move to Stamford Bridge, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano via Metro.

The Blues are pushing hard to sign the 16 year old Brazilian but face competition from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

The 16-year-old Palmeiras star has netted three times in just six top-flight appearances – registering a goal or assist every 61 minutes – and has already been dubbed ‘the new Neymar’ after helping his side lift the Brazilian title.

Chelsea invited Endrick’s family to our Cobham training centre recently and promised the teenager’s family that Endrick will be fast-tracked into the first-team if he joins Chelsea.

Endrick’s family were also introduced to Thiago Silva, who attempted to sell the club to the young forward’s family, while the legendary Brazilian skipper is also believed to have met Endrick personally.

Endrick cannot actually sign with a club until early 2023, while a move to Europe will have to wait another year after that once he has turned 18.

Endrick’s family will weigh up a host of factors before deciding which club to join, with a clear pathway and development plan one of their main considerations.

Endrick has a release clause of €60million in his Palmeiras contract.
