Real Madrid won a battle. Barring a last-minute turnaround, Endrick (16) will choose to continue his career with the Merengues. The Brazilian nugget was convinced by the Madrid project and she should settle down in the capital when she comes of age, in 2024. A great victory for Casa Blanca, which will pay a total of 60 million euros for the Palmeiras crack.
Also on the spot, Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona lost. For the Culés, in the grip of financial difficulties, this is not a surprise. Although Xavi wet the jersey by meeting the youngster to sell him the Blaugrana project while explaining his philosophy of play, Endrick should wear the Real Madrid tunic. In Catalonia, we have already moved on. Indeed, Barça already have a name in mind to forget the Brazilian.
Barça, a new competitor for PSG
According Sport, the Camp Nou residents want to get their hands on Youssoufa Moukoko (18). The jewel of BVB, author of 6 goals and 4 assists in 22 appearances in all competitions this season, is of interest to Catalan leaders. His talent and qualities are appreciated. And even if the club is tempted to recruit a more experienced player, his profile appeals internally. Especially since it could also be a nice move financially. Moukoko will be out of contract next June in Dortmund.
Even if the German press is confident about an extension, Sport explains that Barca’s interest is enough to make him think. The youngster is a fan of FCB and Lionel Messi. Joining Barcelona would therefore make sense for him as he would fulfill a dream. And if Barça, who has the favors of the player, believes in it, it will be necessary to stick together despite everything. In addition to Dortmund, where he could therefore extend his lease with departure clauses as was the case for Erling Haaland, Chelsea or even Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are also seduced by this free striker in 2023. The battle is launched!
