LIVERPOOL PREPARING BID FOR REAL MADRID WINGER ENDRICK

Liverpool are preparing a substantial bid for Real Madrid winger Endrick, according to a South American football expert. The move comes as the club's attempts to sign Paris Saint-Germain players Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye have stalled. Liverpool's £50 million offer for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh was rejected earlier this week.

Endrick, who turned 20 this year, joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras after breaking scoring records at the Brazilian club's academy. The winger caught Real Madrid's attention at the age of 14. Unlike fellow Brazilians Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, who made immediate impacts at the club, Endrick has faced greater competition for places in the squad.

The potential move would offer Endrick an opportunity to develop at a club with less squad competition than Real Madrid, where places are difficult to secure. The bid is expected to be submitted ahead of the new season. Palmeiras' academy has produced several players who moved to European football, including Chelsea's Estevao.
