At the BolaDePrata Awards in Brazil, former Barcelona striker and club star Luis Suarez made the statement that he would have preferred to see adolescent sensation Endrick sign with Barcelona rather than Real Madrid. Suarez made this statement when speaking to ESPN regarding the BolaDePrata Awards.

It is widely acknowledged that Endrick, who is only 17 years old, is among the most promising young players emerging from the South American footballing scene.

During the previous year, the young striker was observed by a number of prestigious clubs, one of which was Barcelona. The manager of Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez, made it known that the Blaugrana were interested in acquiring his services.

Endrick, however, made the decision to sign with Real Madrid in a deal that was worth €35 million, plus €25 million in add-ons and another €12 million in taxes. This meant that the agreement was not ultimately successful.

The young player, who is only 17 years old, won his second Brasileiro championship last night with Palmeiras. It appears that Luis Suarez has been profoundly influenced by his performance.

The legendary player from Barcelona, who is currently playing for Gremio, shared his opinion that Endrick is a rising star and that he would have preferred to see the young player play for the Catalan club rather than Real Madrid.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Suarez stated, “I would have liked Endrick to have signed for Barca, but he has to decide and enjoy football, and football will enjoy him.” Suarez’s statement was cited in the publication.

Although he is still very little, he is already making his first steps, and he is already a star. I find it hard to believe that he has accomplished so much in this year. The former Barcelona striker continued by saying, “For many years to come, Brazil, Real Madrid, and football will have a star playing for them.”

Despite the fact that Endrick may have fallen through the cracks, the Blaugrana are going to be receiving yet another Brazilian gem in the form of Vitor Roque.

After being acquired from Athletico Paranaense during the summer transfer window, the younger striker, who is 18 years old, is scheduled to arrive the following month.
