Palmeiras gives Real Madrid the green light to negotiate with Endrick

Now 15, Endrick has impressed Real's scouting network and the club wants to sign him as soon as possible – although under current FIFA rules they can't bring him to Europe until he turns 18.

A report by Marca says today that Palmeiras wants to work with Endrick and his family, and has given him the green light to negotiate with the two main candidates to sign him: Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Currently, Endrick has a release clause in his contract that costs €17 million. But then again, Real Madrid, even if they sign him now, would have to keep him in Brazil for 2-3 years before bringing him to Europe. They're not worried about that rule, probably, as there's no rush with Endrick. The most important thing is to get your rights as soon as possible before another club signs you.
