The newspaper 'Marca' reports that Real Madrid are looking more likely to sign Palmeiras' young Brazilian starlet Endrick. The reason is that the board headed by Florentino Perez has experience in this type of agreement and that the agency representing the youngster is close to 'Los Blancos'. The player's buyout clause is 17 million euros.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in the same great Brazilian football talent, Endrick. This came to light a few weeks ago, but, with the dispute of the Copinha, the most important youth tournament in the Latin American country, the player positioned himself among the most notorious and gave reasons to 'Los Blancos' and Barca to get excited about him.

According to the newspaper 'Marca', 'Los Blancos' have more options to sign him than the Catalan side at the moment. The main argument that explains this is that they have more experience in deals of this type. The clearest example is Vinicius, who has become a fundamental part of Carlo Ancelotti's scheme.

The offices of the Barcelona club already know what it means to get a player with a brutal future projection coming from Brazil. It happened with Neymar. The fact is that Endrick's representation agency, 'TFM', is closer to the Santiago Bernabeu's bosses than to those of the Camp Nou, which plays in favour of Florentino Perez's leadership.

In any case, the player's buyout clause is 17 million euros, although it will not be enough to pay it to bring him in. The international laws of FIFA prohibit an under-age player from playing in Europe, even in youth teams, so Madrid and Barcelona will have to look for an alternative route.
