Endrick will become a Real Madrid player as soon as he turns 18 as the deal has been completed and announced by the La Liga side. He might not be the only youngster to move to the Santiago Bernabeu though. According to 'O Globo', the club are also keeping an eye on Gianluca Prestianni, a 16 year-old left winger who plays for Velez Sarsfield in Argentina.
Real Madrid beat everyone in the battle to sign Endrick. The Brazilian agreed to move to 'Los Blancos' until 2027 for 60 million euros (35 fixed and 25 in add-ons). However, he will not move to the Spanish capital until 2024 because he is not allowed to leave Palmeiras until he is 18.
And it looks like Real Madrid could repeat the trick, but in Argenjtina this time. 'O Globo' reports that Real Madrid have their eyes on Gianluca Prestianni.
The left-winger is just 16 years old and plays at Velez Sarsfield. He has already made six first team appearances, starting on one occasion. He also provided an assist, but has yet to score.
The previously cited source says that Real Madrid took advantage of the trip to South America to complete Endrick's transfer and to look at Prestianni. In fact, they have reportedly already contacted his agent Rolando Zarate.
In January, Presitanni will turn 17 and many in Argentina see him as the new Messi. That is why Real Madrid went to watch the Velez Sarsfield footballer in action. His contract at the club runs until 2024.
At the moment, they are happy just with Endrick, but 'O Globo' does not rule out Madrid signing Prestianni as well at some point in the future.
