In recent weeks, Chelsea has been involved in a bidding war for one of the world’s most sought-after young players, and they came close to winning.
Finally, Real Madrid had their man. Endrick will join Real Madrid for 60 million euros but will not be able to play for the club until 2024 due to his age. Chelsea were favorites at one point in the process to sign Endrick.
The reason he chose to be a Galactico rather than a blue one has finally been revealed. Endrick chose to join Real Madrid over Chelsea.
Chelsea were said to have had some reservations about the financial aspects of the Endrick deal and were not as eager to commit as Real Madrid, who eventually gave them the deal.

Endrick and his family were impressed that Chelsea had visited the training facility to be shown around by Thiago Silva, but had ultimately chosen Real Madrid.
Chelsea are now interested in Youssoufa Moukoko of Borussia Dortmund. They are looking into a possible deal for the German.
Chelsea was disappointed, but every closed door allows for a new beginning. Endrick is leaving for Real Madrid, but Chelsea may be able to find another superstar to replace him.
