"There’s already a battle between the European top clubs to sign Endrick. One to watch on the market, soon."
Endrick has yet to play for Palmeiras' senior squad but has put in consistently-high performances for the youth sides, scoring a whopping 165 goals in 169 games.
But he will soon be playing for the first team regardless of a future transfer, as Brazilian footballers are not legally allowed to play abroad until they turn 18.
The Brazilian is thought to be open to all offers after touring Europe earlier this year to look at potential clubs.
