The transfer market frequently resembles a domino effect: decisions can frequently have an impact on subsequent decisions or not, as is frequently the case. The inability of Real Madrid to sign Kylian Mbappé negatively impacted Liverpool's hopes of signing Aurélien Tchouaméni in the summer, with the news that Real Madrid
Is very close to signing Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, we might see this in reverse. The 16-year-old, who has only participated in 15 games for Palmeiras' first team, has a contract in place that would see him join the current European champions in 2024 when he will be 18 years old. The contract is worth €72 million,
£62 million, or $75 million, according to ESPN, As happens every few years, the adolescent is already being promoted as the next big thing to come out of Brazil. Given his age and the number of clubs interested in signing him, it never seemed likely that Liverpool would be seriously considered for a move for Endrick.
Especially given his young age, Liverpool was never going to come close to paying the kind of sums Real Madrid is reportedly set to pay to bring Endrick to Europe, Like they did with Tchouaméni last summer, Real Madrid is also interested in signing Bellingham and has set him up for a significant summer 2023 transfer.
Liverpool wanted the Frenchman as well, but they were unable to match the Spanish teams' wealth or prestige. The majority of the time, players will choose Los Blancos when Madrid makes an approach. However, Real Madrid's decision to purchase Endrick may leave them with less money in their transfer budget for Bellingham to be signed next summer, giving Liverpool a stronger chance to secure the 19-year-old. Although the financial blow to the Brazilian wonderkid may not materialize until 2024, another expensive summer sandwiched between Tchouaméni and Endrick would be a significant expense.
