“All the boys in Brazil want to play for Barcelona,” Endrick has said in a recent interview with Marca.
“I know that Barca was scouting me, but now I am focused on Palmeiras, forgetting all the factors outside the field. I played my game, we were champions and I managed to play well, I hope I impressed them.
“Barca is a club where many players passed through who inspire us younger ones like Neymar Jr, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Romario… and Ronaldinho.
“All the boys who want to play abroad think of Barca because of Neymar Jr, who is from our generation.
“I rememeber Barca being a spectacular team with Xavi and Iniesta in midfield, as well as the MSN in the attack. I think I can fit in that style.
“Rivaldo is my favorite player of all time, because he was a Palmeiras idol, because he was left-footed, like me. I had the opportunity to meet him in person.
“I did not watch Ronaldinho at Barca, but I’ve checked out his highlights on YouTube. Here in Brazil, we love him, because he represents football as an art. I’m fortunate to be in a country where I can learn how to dribble and score.”
It’s said that Barcelona are one of the many European top clubs interested in the Palmeiras youngster. Since he is 15, FIFA regulations prevents European clubs from signing him yet. He has to stay in Brazil until he turns 18.
