Real Madrid's pursuit of Palmeiras prodigy Endrick appears to have eased, and while they are still monitoring the highly-rated Brazilian, it is not their top priority at the moment.
The first priority for Los Blancos this summer is to sign Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. Meanwhile, the approaching Clasico and Champions League quarterfinals are attracting a lot of attention on the pitch.
Endrick, who won the Copinha in January, is in the midst of months that could determine his future. He won't turn 16 until July, when he can sign his first professional contract - almost definitely with Palmeiras - but it was also thought that a move to Europe would be arranged in a similar period, despite the fact that he wouldn't be eligible to join any team outside of Brazil until he becomes 18.
Real Madrid has long been regarded as the frontrunner to sign the youngster, who is known to be a supporter of the club, but they are taking their time and scrutinizing the finer points of a deal that will not be cheap.
Any surgery to remove Endrick from Brazil, as was the case with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, is estimated to cost up to 45 million euros. Other elite clubs in Europe, especially Premier League clubs, are reportedly watching
Real Madrid to see what's going on. Los Blancos are content with their existing advantage and will deliberate carefully before making a move. Barcelona is also interested in the youngster and has even invited him to a match, but their financial situation complicates things for them, as it does for Chelsea, who was formerly one of the most interested teams. Endrick has also been invited to a game by PSG, despite the fact that the French club is now focused with other matters after an embarrassing exit from the Champions League.
There will be a number of scouts keeping an eye on him.
