Klopp's blow to Ancelotti leaves him without star reinforcements for the Champions League

Yesterday, several media outlets in Spain and England reported on a story concerning Endrick's future. As reported by Matteo Moretto, journalist of Relevo, referring to another media, the father of the young Brazilian striker had confirmed that Real Madrid would receive them as guests at Valdebebas to see the facilities of the Merengue team, something that would put them in a very good position.

However, nothing could be further from the truth, and Endrick's father has denied such speculation, and the 16-year-old's future is up in the air, so they will listen to offers from any of the interested clubs. Both Real Madrid and Liverpool are in the bidding and all three are at the same point, according to Fabrizio Romano. The English side were tipping Liverpool to be the favourites.

The truth is that Endrick's situation is far from over, as his coming of age will be key to his future. However, it is likely that his decision will be forced much sooner, with the Whites, Blues and Parisians all pushing for a move as soon as possible. For the moment, there are still no formal moves from any club to Palmeiras, where Endrick will remain until further notice.

Endrick has become one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market. Palmeiras' 16-year-old Brazilian starlet is being watched by Europe's top clubs, including both Real Madrid and Liverpool. Both have been in contention for the potential signing of the Brazilian attacker, but the Reds have emerged as favourites, or so it seemed.

Klopp overtakes Ancelotti

If it is confirmed that Endrick will sign for Liverpool and not Real Madrid, it would represent a victory for Jürgen Klopp over Carletto Ancelotti ahead of February's Champions League last-16 tie in which the Reds will be looking to gain revenge for the Paris final.
