Manchester City Are Facing Stiff Competition For This Real Madrid Forward: Is He Worth The Fight? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey stated that Manchester City are facing stiff competition for Real Madrid forward Endrick. It has been claimed that the Mancunian giants would have to compete with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Fulham in the race to sign the Brazilian whizkid this summer.

Endrick’s Impressive Loan Spell At Lyon Last Season

Endrick enjoyed a productive loan spell at Olympique Lyonnais in the previous campaign as he managed to put in a series of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 20-year-old registered five goals and grabbed seven assists in 16 matches for the French outfit last season in various competitions.

The Brazilian talent is currently among the best forwards in Ligue 1. Hence, the Mancunian club would do well to get a deal done for him this month.

His current contract at his parent club Real Madrid will expire in the summer of 2030, which could make it difficult for Man City to sign him on the cheap this off-season.

Manchester City Are Facing Stiff Competition For Endrick: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Endrick can use his pace well to get in behind the opponent’s backline and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet. He has the eye to create some promising chances for others around him and can shoot the ball with venom from long range.

The Brazilian striker can chip in by scoring and creating a handful of crucial goals for his team. However, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the physical demands and high intensity of Premier League football if Man City manage to win the race for his services this summer.

We can expect Endrick to enhance the quality of Enzo Maresca’s attack in the long run. He has what it takes to serve as an ideal back up to Erling Haaland at the Mancunian club.

At 20, Endrick has the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. The Brazilian youngster is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future. Therefore, Man City would be wise to get him on board later this year.
