Endrick is unable to sign a professional contract before he turns 16 and cannot play in competitions such as the Brazilian Championship, the Copa Libertadores or the South America’s Champions League. 

He could, however, feature next month in the Fifa Club World Cup, potentially against European champions Chelsea.

And his form has attracted interest from a host of top clubs including Real and Manchester United but unfortunately for the Premier League club, it appears Endrick already has his sights set on a move to Spain.

Speaking to , he said on Real: "They are a club I'm very fond of because of Cristiano Ronaldo, who I always followed, with the four Champions League trophies he won there.

"I have a lot of love for Real Madrid because of Cristiano, although I have also looked up some of their history and they are a very good team.

"It is very gratifying for me to know that they are watching me and seeing my games.
