Chelsea are reportedly making a concerted effort to sign Palmeiras striker Endrick despite there being serious competition for the teenager’s signature.
The majority of the ‘Big Six’, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are also interested in the Brazilian but it is believed that the Blues’ main rivals for the player are Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
While there are some fans on Twitter who think Endrick may be willing to make the switch to Stamford Bridge, most feel that the likes of Real and PSG possess greater pulling power:

The only reason Chelsea could get Endrick is if we offer more money , because how is a Brazilian choosing us over playing with Neymar , or going to Madrid 🤷 I can't see it happening , but I hope we get him , next R9

It would be a good signing but we really need top class midfielders.

Exactly he’s more likely to start for us than the others that want him

No way he’s choosing us over Madrid where his idol Vini plays

As some supporters have pointed out, it’s hard to see why Endrick would favour Chelsea when he could join up with so many of his Brazilian compatriots in Spain or France.
Money could, of course, be a factor, but if it comes down to that, you would think PSG would be the favourites. There could be promises of game time that may sway things in the Blues’ favour but we shall see how this transfer story unfolds.
