Thiago Silva is a legendary figure in Brazilian football and will skipper his nation at the World Cup later this month and Chelsea are hoping he can convince Endrick to snub Real and PSG and move to Stamford Bridge instead.

Palmeiras are expected to demand close to his €60million (£52.5m) release clause. Endrick cannot sign for a club until early 2023, while he would have to stay at Palmeiras for another year until he turns 18 and can move to Europe in 2024.
