According to Real Madrid Confidencial, it has come to light that Premier League side Newcastle United are prepared to offer €70 million to sign young Real Madrid forward Endrick.
Interestingly enough, the Brazilian wonderkid has no intention of leaving Madrid, neither on loan nor via a permanent transfer.
Ever since Gonzalo Garcia’s breakout performances at the Club World Cup, rumours around Endrick’s future have picked up pace.
Endrick is well aware that Gonzalo’s rapid rise could make it harder for him to get minutes under Xabi Alonso.
Even so, he is not backing down from the challenge. The 18-year-old starlet believes his future lies at Real Madrid, and he is motivated to prove himself worthy of more regular game time.

Last season, Endrick showed flashes of brilliance, particularly in the Copa del Rey, where he ended up as Real Madrid’s top scorer in the competition. Despite that, his opportunities in La Liga and the Champions League remained limited.
The surprise twist in this situation comes from Brazilian media, who report that Newcastle are ready to splash €70 million on Endrick.
The Premier League side are searching for a replacement for Alexander Isak, who is on Liverpool’s radar.
Newcastle view Endrick as the perfect successor and are prepared to push hard to make the deal happen.
However, the player’s camp has made it clear that Endrick is focused on staying at Real Madrid and developing under Alonso, even if competition is fierce.
