Before signing for Real Madrid, Endrick was very close to signing for Chelsea. “We received an invitation from Chelsea, from the owner, and we went there to see the club and the country. We saw Chelsea play against Arsenal and we had the opportunity to see the coach, the facilities, Jorginho, César Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva”, said Douglas, Endrick’s father, in a statement reported by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. This visit was carried out in November 2022.
