Real Madrid have knocked back two serious offers from the Premier League for teenage sensation Endrick, with the combined bids totalling a staggering €65 million, according to sources close to the club.
The 18 year old Brazilian forward, currently shining on loan at Olympique Lyonnais, has attracted major English interest after a blistering start in Ligue 1. In just 161 minutes of action, he’s already notched a goal and an assist, showcasing the explosive talent that convinced Madrid to sign him as a 16 year old.
Despite the lucrative financial temptation, a deal would see the club profit handsomely on their initial investment, the Bernabéu hierarchy have instantly dismissed the approaches. Club sources insist there is “no intention to sell, not even for discussion.” The feeling is that cashing in now would be a major strategic blunder, repeating past mistakes where young gems were sold only to become superstars elsewhere.
“The plan is clear and it hasn’t changed,” an insider stated. “He returns here in the summer, he joins the first team squad, and he fights for his place. The coaching staff see everything they need to see.”
Madrid’s belief has been hardened by Endrick’s rapid adaptation in France. Initially seen as a long term project, his immediate impact has accelerated the timeline. The club are wary of the ‘Jude Bellingham effect’ in reverse, letting a future world beater slip through their fingers just as he’s about to blossom.
With Kylian Mbappé now embedded in the side and Rodrygo and Vinícius Jr. still pillars of the attack, competition is fierce. But Madrid see Endrick as a unique profile, a classic number nine with a devastating burst of pace, and are prepared to be patient. His development, they believe, is proof that their model of signing elite youngsters early is paying off.
For now, the message to the Premier League’s big spenders is a firm ‘no sale.’ All focus is on letting Endrick thrive in Lyon before he returns to the Spanish capital, where the real chapter of his Madrid story is set to begin
