‘You are from another world’: Marquinhos extremely impressed by £52m forward Arsenal reportedly want to sign
Arsenal has been linked with a move to capture Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, and Arsenal’s Marquinhos appears to be a major fan of the gifted attacker.
Endrick, who is only 16 years old, is considered by many to be the next Brazilian superstar.
It’s only a matter of time before he’s picked up by a prominent European team, given how well he’s establishing himself.
BBC Sport reports that Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City are among the many clubs interested in signing Endrick, while Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola disclosed on his YouTube channel that Spurs are also interested in signing the outstanding teenager.
However, despite being only 16 years old, he will cost a fortune. Recently, Fabrizio Romano disclosed that the youngster’s contract included a £52 million release clause.
That’s a lot of money for someone so young, but his talent is undeniable, and it wouldn’t surprise us if a club like Real Madrid eventually decided to satisfy those demands to sign him.
Endrick has a large following in Brazil, but it appears that the Premier League’s elite are also keeping an eye on him. Recently, Tottenham’s Richarlison lauded him, while Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus called him a “phenomenon.”
Marquinhos, a teenager for Arsenal, too appears to be a fan, as the winger praised his countrymen on Instagram after he scored his first senior goal for Palmeiras last week.
“You are from another world mlk, congratulations,” Marquinhos wrote on Instagram.
Endrick is still a youngster, but he has already etched his name into the Palmeiras record books.
Endrick was substituted in at halftime against Athletico Paranaense earlier this week. The youngster scored twice and contributed to his team’s 3-1 triumph.
By scoring, Endrick became the youngest player in Palmeiras history to score a goal at 16 years, 3 months, and 2 days old. This is an incredible accomplishment, so it is not surprising that he is coveted.
Given the number of clubs competing for his services, it is impossible to imagine Arsenal luring him away. Despite the fact that Edu’s contacts in Brazil could make a significant difference, it is quite unlikely.
