Real Madrid will reportedly have scouts present during this year’s Copinha, with six Brazilian prodigies on Los Blancos’ radar.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Real Madrid will closely follow half a dozen prospects at this year’s Copinha. The Merengues discovered Endrick at last year’s edition of the tournament. So Los Blancos will be on a Brazilian scouting mission to track Deivid, Arthur, Luis Guilherme, Estevao, Rayan, and Pedro.
Copinha is one of the most prestigious age-group competitions in the world. The tournament has featured several Brazilian stalwarts over the years, including Neymar and Casemiro. And last year’s edition brought the spotlight on Endrick, who captured the attention of various European bigwigs due to his performances.
High-profile clubs like Barcelona, Chelsea, and Manchester United monitored the wonderkid in the past year. But Real Madrid and Palmeiras have agreed to a deal that will materialise in July 2024 when Endrick turns 18. And the reigning La Liga champions are set to return to Brazil for a scouting mission.
Real Madrid will have scouts present at the tournament that brought Endrick on Los Blancos’ radar. And the Spanish champions will monitor as many as half a dozen Brazilian prodigies this year. These six players are Deivid, Arthur, Luis Guilherme, Estevao, Rayan, and Pedro.
Estevao has been on Real Madrid’s radar for some time. And recent reports claimed that Los Blancos had a verbal agreement to sign the Palmeiras wonderkid. But the teenage sensation has also captured the attention of several other high-profile clubs, including Arsenal and Barcelona.
Meanwhile, the other prospects on Real Madrid’s radar have not attracted as much attention. But Deivid, Arthur, Luis Guilherme, Rayan, and Pedro are all highly-rated prodigies. And with Real Madrid constantly scouring the market for the brightest young players, the six youngsters might sense a future at Real Madrid.
It will be interesting to see who follows Endrick to become the top target for Real Madrid after a splendid Copinha campaign. For now, the reigning La Liga champions have set their sights on half a dozen Brazilian prodigies ahead of the tournament.
