Real Madrid and Palmeiras are close to finalising an agreement over prized youngster Endrick, sources have confirmed to 90min.
The 16-year-old is regarded as one of the best prospects ever to emerge from Brazil, and Real have been on his trail since before was was a teenager.
90min revealed last month that an agreement to sell Endrick was set to be agreed by Palmeiras before the end of the year, and that is now close to being finalised.
Sources have insisted to 90min throughout the last six months that Real were leading the chase for Endrick with the Spanish clubs chief scout Juni Calafat teeing up the move, having grown close to the player and his family.
Calafat also played a massive role in securing such talents as Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde in recent years but the club believe that Endrick could be the best of them all.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have pushed hard to land Endrick, but Real were always confident that the player wanted to move to Madrid and they believe a deal is now imminent.
Real are now set to agree terms which will see them pay €60m for the player, but they will also pay extra taxes that is placed on transfers of Brazilian players to Spain. Real have also agreed further add-ons and performance-related bonuses.
Endrick will not get to put on a white shirt until 2024, however, as FIFA regulations prohibit international transfers of players under 18 years old.
