Agent hints Chelsea blew Endrick deal

England will get a glimpse of youngster Endrick as they take on Brazil in a friendly.

The youngster is signing for Real Madrid at the end of this season, with the deal already ratified.

The talented youngster's agent Federico Pena told the Telegraph that many clubs around Europe, including in the Premier League, chased after Endrick.

“That was when the world really sat up and took notice," said Pena of the Montaigu Tournament in France two years ago.

“People in football already knew about him, but that's when all of the top clubs came in, Manchester City, Liverpool, Paris St-Germain, Chelsea and, of course, Real Madrid."

“I think Real decided that they were never going to miss another talent like Vini or Endrick after Neymar moved to Barcelona," said Pena.

“Maybe there is a lesson for Chelsea because they were in front at the start."
