Chelsea submits £59m bid for "elite striker" with "huge potential
Chelsea are reportedly eyeing Real Madrid forward Endrick for a potential transfer at the end of the season.
The 18-year-old Brazilian is considered one of the brightest young attacking talents, and Chelsea have already submitted a €70 million bid, according to Fichajes.
However, Real Madrid have rejected the offer, insisting Endrick remains a crucial part of their long-term plans. The teenager has already showcased his talent and is expected to develop further with experience.
Chelsea are in need of attacking reinforcements, and Endrick would have been a valuable long-term addition. He has also been linked with Arsenal.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has praised Endrick’s potential, calling him a “proper striker” with speed, control, and a powerful shot, making him especially dangerous in tight spaces.

It is no surprise that Real Madrid have chosen to turn down the offer from Chelsea. They will want to hold onto their best young players as they are building a formidable squad for the future. Endrick has been linked with Tottenham as well.
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea decides to move on to other targets. They need a reliable goalscorer to support Nicolas Jackson next season and share the goalscoring burden with him.
Meanwhile, Endrick will look to focus on his development at Real Madrid and establish himself as a key player for them in the coming seasons.
