Erling Haaland to 'block' Endrick deal as Chelsea given major January transfer incentive

Endrick could be a name heard on the world stage of football for years to come, should he manage to fulfil his promise at such a young age. The Brazilian wonderkid has already featured for the Palmeiras first-team at just 16-years-old, scoring three goals after making six appearances.

It has led to plenty of European interest, with the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona all said to be following a switch for the forward. Blaugrana boss Xavi has been particularly complimentary for the youngster and hasn't hidden the fact there is interest in signing him.

"We've been talking with Endrick’s father and also with the player. I explained them the project. We want him, he’s a top talent," the Barca boss told ESPN. "Endrick is the kind of player we need. I hope he joins Barca. It's up to him to decide.”
