Palmeiras expect Chelsea, Man Utd to bid for teenage whiz Endrick

Palmeiras are expecting Premier League offers for Endrick.

Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola is reporting Manchester United and Chelsea are set to enter a transfer battle for 15-year-old Brazilian wonderkid Endrick.

Nicola claims the duo are ready to make bids when the forward turns 16 on Thursday.

The occasion will see Endrick sign his first-ever contract with club Palmeiras.

And the Samba giants are ready to part ways with their wonderkid if his new £34million release clause is met.

United and Chelsea are preparing to swoop sooner rather than later as that figure will rise to £43m next year - and £50m in 2024.

Endrick is yet to make a single senior appearance for Palmeiras despite being rated as South America's top prospect.
