Chelsea will have to match their spend on teenagers from the summer window if they want to seal a deal to sign Palmeiras wonderkid Endrick, as the transfer battle to secure the forward heats up.
The 16-year-old is one of the most in-demand stars in the world after breaking into his club's senior side and scoring three goals already despite his young age, and clubs across Europe are preparing to invest huge funds in order to attract him.
Although he can't officially join a team until he turns 18, Endrick can sign a pre-agreement much like Real Madrid's deal to bring Vinicius Jr to Europe in 2018. The Spanish giants spent £39.5million on the 18-year-old at the time and are now reaping the rewards.
