Real Madrid are gearing up for an exciting summer transfer window, with reports indicating a potential deal for Kylian Mbappe to join the club at Santiago Bernabeu.
If the reports finally come to reality, it would mean signing one of the best players in the world as a free agent.
In addition to Mbappe, another promising player who is set to arrive at Santiago Bernabeu next summer is 17-year-old Endrick Felipe.
The Brazilian youngster, Endrick, has drawn comparisons to Ronaldo Nazario, his countryman, and there is great anticipation surrounding his arrival at Los Blancos.
Real Madrid secured a €60 million deal with Palmeiras 14 months ago to sign Endrick Felipe, and the wait for his arrival has been building.
Underaged at the time, the twice-capped Brazil international has been compelled to wait until his 18th birthday before completing the move to Madrid.
Although he won't turn 18 until July, Madrid fans and the club have high expectations for his potential impact.
Los Blancos are buzzing with excitement over Endrick, who shined for Palmeiras in the latter part of the previous season and even earned his debut with the Brazil national team at just 17 years old.
However, the possible arrival of Mbappe from PSG this summer raises questions about Endrick's future role at the club.
Amid this uncertainty, Palmeiras had reportedly requested to extend Endrick's stay by six months until the end of 2024.
The Brazilian club made this request with the reasoning that he may not get much playing time in the first half of next season, especially with the expected arrival of Mbappe.
Meanwhile, GOAL Brasil also confirmed the claim that Palmeiras planned to capitalize on Mbappe's move to Real Madrid by keeping Endrick in Sao Paulo until December.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has refuted this claim on his Instagram page, revealing that Endrick will not be staying at Palmeiras on loan.
According to him, Real Madrid have confirmed that Endrick will be joining their team in July.
His post read: "Endrick will not stay at Palmeiras until December on loan, no chance."
"Real Madrid wants Endrick to arrive in Europe in July and be part of the team since the beginning of the new season."
There are some question marks surrounding how much playing time Endrick would get at Real Madrid if Kylian Mbappe joins as well.
And concerning the speculations that Endrick may not have quality playtime at Madrid if Mbappe joins, Romano added: "No way for an extended loan, sources confirm– Endrick will join Real even with Kylian Mbappe close to signing. Mbappe's deal not expected to affect plans with Endrick."
Real Madrid may have a challenge of keeping both players happy if they eventually have Endrick and Mbappe on their books.
When two football superstars are at the same club, they will likely have to navigate a balance of playing time and individual performance.
This could lead to healthy competition and mutual improvement, or it could create tension and unrest within the team.
It remains to be seen how Madrid would effectively manage both players to thrive and contribute to the success of the team if Mbappe's move eventually materializes.
