The young forward, who is widely regarded as one of the most talented players of his generation, will be joining the Spanish giants in a high-profile transfer next summer. However, it has been revealed that Endrick was very close to signing with Chelsea, with a deal verbally agreed before the Premier League club backed out due to concerns about inflating the market.
