165-goal wonderkid drops major hint over future transfer amid Liverpool links

Brazilian football talent Endrick has provided a hint on his future amid links with Liverpool.

The Reds have been linked with the talented Palmeiras forward, who only celebrated his 16th birthday back in July. He is already regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in world football and looks destined to seal a transfer to one of Europe's elite as he continues his meteoric rise.

Liverpool are among the teams to have been linked with the youngster, who would not be permitted to join the Reds until the age of 18, but Real Madrid are understood to be particularly keen on Endrick. Recent reports have also listed Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain as potential frontrunners to eventually sign the teenager.

Amid persistent reports over his future, Endrick has admitted that he would not rule out a move to the Premier League. However, he has also explained how one player for Liverpool’s rivals is an role model for him.

"There's the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1,” Endrick told TV Gazeta, when asked about his favoured destination. “I play video games a lot, I make a career out of playing.

"I watch all the leagues, I play in all the leagues, practically. I see myself playing in any league.

He added: "My dream is to play in Europe, but what I want is to be playing. I'm focused on Palmeiras and I don't care where I'll be playing in the future.

“Currently, Haaland is a new guy that I look up to, who was almost from my generation. But, of course, there is also (Cristiano) Ronaldo."

Endrick is already a well known player in Brazil, having scored 165 goals in 169 games for Palmeiras’ youth teams
