Palmeiras whizkid Endrick: No preference - but I like watching PSG

Palmeiras whizkid Endrick says he has no preference over his move to Europe.

The 16 year-old is the subject of major interest from Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG, though he cannot leave for Europe until he turns 18.

He told So Foot: "Obviously, I have many dreams. Afterwards, it's complicated to answer you with certainty, I know that what awaits me is in the hands of God. Everything that happens to me will be good if I stay on the straight and narrow, so today I'm focusing on Palmeiras, the present.

"I look at what is happening in Europe, I know that I want to play the big competitions: Champions League, World Cup, Libertadores. What I want in my life is to be a champion, what is within my reach today is the Brazilian championship and the Libertadores.

“I watch the matches, the Champions League, the Premier League, La Liga, the French championship, the Bundesliga. I'm looking to learn from these stars who play in these competitions, see what I can replicate, but I don't have a favourite club. And then I don't pay attention to rumours, I know that to play in Europe, I have to perform well here.

"Neymar is a player that I really like! I like watching PSG, Mbappé is very strong, Messi, Marquinhos, classy players. As I told you, I love watching them for inspiration."
