Real Madrid has announced Endrick officially. 

Spending nearly 50 million € on this young lad might look quite risky to many people. Considering he's only 17... But nowadays teams are all in for investing into such talents. Endrick really looks good even at this age. I watched him in Brazil shirt in some matches and really liked his style. He has so much to learn of course but I'm always impressed with this kind of special players. They are ready to surprise us at a very young age too.

I think 50 millions euros for Endrick looked too expensive. It was because Endrick has not yet delivered for Real Madrid. But, it will be worth it when he can deliver like Bellingham did last season. This is not a bad transfer at all. And again, i tell you that Vinicius and Rodrygo were signed at 17 for 45 millions euros each by Real Madrid. And they have turned out to be pretty good at this time. They are both valued right now at way more than what Real Madrid paid for them when they were still young.  Real Madrid always knows what they have been doing, and just trust ancellotti for this. He is having specialization in scouting the potential young player.

The success of rodrygo and Vini makes me feel i have nothing to worry about. You should see the history of Real Madrid. Many big names were bought by Real Madrid when they were still young. Real Madrid has been doing this many times, and just trust them. endrick has very big potential to be the next superstar.
To sum up, Endrick's price is still worthy with his potential.

[legendbtc]

Williams himself wants to play in Barcelona and even agrees to receive a not too large salary (which will still be higher than in Bilbao) so that Barca can afford to have him on their roster.

I don't believe Williams will escape the temptation of money. If he leaves Bilbao to play for Barcelona, ​​it could happen, because after all, Barcelona is still a better place for him to develop his career. But if other big teams offered and paid high salaries, I don't believe Williams would still choose Barcelona. For example, PSG, Man City vs Arsenal offered to recruit him. In your opinion, will Williams choose a financially strong team or still choose a team in a financial crisis like Barcelona?

But as I already wrote at the moment, this is not the main thing, since if the compensation under the contract is large, then everything is in the hands of Bilbao and they can demand either the entire amount due for the premature termination of the contract or negotiate on the terms that suit them.

Currently, Williams is still bound to Bilbao until 2027 and has a contracc-breaking fee of somewhere 58 million euros. This number does not face many obstacles in activating the clause to break Williams' contract. The important thing is, is Williams' talent enough to attract big teams? If enough, Bilbao will have difficulty keeping Williams.

To sum up, Endrick's price is still worthy with his potential.

But if we look at the current market value, it has risen to 60 million euros and I think again that Real Madrid will not suffer a loss even though they have paid 50 million euros. Real Madrid has been paying Palmeiras since last season and he still had the opportunity to defend Palmeiras during last season due to La Liga requirements which do not allow players under 18 years from outside Spain.

Now Endrick is 18 years old and therefore we will soon see him sign a contract and play for Real Madrid for next season. Rodrygo and Vinicius are clear examples of long-term investments made by Real Madrid which have been very successful and their market value has increased very sharply. It seems that Endrick will also experience something similar and if he can make a real contribution, it is not impossible that he will be on par with other players at Real Madrid.

According to the price Real Madrid was spending total 60 million for Endrick transfer and indeed this is huge amount of money considering Endrick still 17 years old but he done well in Palmeiras because at that time Endrick is still 15 years old but he can being an the main player of that team and this makes some of big European Clubs were showing their interest to him including Real Madrid and apparently Endrick has just made good decision with choose Real Madrid as his next club

If i am not mistaken currently Endrick can be considered as the most expensive young player bought by Real Madrid however i don't know why but Real Madrid is quite often to buy some of Brazilian youngsters because before bought Endrick from Palmeiras previously Real Madrid also has successfully buy Vinicius and Rodrygo because when Real Madrid decide to buy these players whether Rodrygo and Vinicius still 18 years old and this is successful transfer because currently Rodrygo and Vinicius can being an Real Madrid key player

Ancelotti has promised him main place in Real Madrid which mean he can joining to Real Madrid main squad for next season and indeed he is talented player but i don't think Ancelotti will be rely on him for Real Madrid front lines because they still have Mbappe, Vinicius or Rodrygo and for Endrick he has hard task because Real Madrid front lines filled with world class players and we'll see if Endrick is able to compete with these players to gets one place on Real Madrid attacking lines or he only spend his time on the bench

[bestcoins1]

Until now I have not read the news that Real Madrid wants to bring in Sergio Ramos again. This seems very unlikely to happen to a club like Real Madrid because we know that Real Madrid is not a team that recruits old players. It is true that currently Real Madrid's defense doesn't have many options after Nacho left, but that doesn't mean that losing Nacho will make Real Madrid panic and then Sergio Ramos will come because that is very unlikely to happen.

That's why we sometimes have to think logically in everything, including recruiting players, because a team like Real Madrid is a big team that has more money and more trophies to date. Of course, it is still possible for the team to make good steps in recruiting other defenders whose age can be younger and whose talent must also be good rather than having to call back old players who are no longer young. And I also think that Real Madrid will not do that because currently there are many options that Real Madrid can still look at if they are just defensive players.

[klidex]

Not so, currently Nico Williams is quite popular and is in great demand by top European teams because of his good performance at the Euros. In fact, next season it is not certain that he will be able to produce his best performance again if he remains with the Bilbao team.
So this is the right time for Bilbao to release Nico Williams to be able to get a lot of money from this transfer.

And now we are seeing rumors that Barcelona is the team that has the biggest desire to bring in Nico Williams. If there is a big desire from Barcelona, ​​I think it will be quite possible to realize it.

If this has become Barcelona's target in this transfer market, of course both teams should be able to benefit equally, although at the moment we still cannot confirm whether Nico Williams will continue to get better when he is at Barcelona. However, I think that Nico Williams is indeed suitable to be recruited by Barcelona because apart from having performed well at this Euro, Nico Williams himself is a player who is very familiar with the conditions in La Liga. So it could be quite a good thing if he can be in a big team like Barcelona next season.

Bilbao will lose their valuable asset but they will also benefit from the sale of this player which is clear that Barcelona really wants this player because Barca feels that the combination of Lamine Yamal with this player will be very suitable for next season in deepening their strength as they work together in the European arena so that brings Spain won Euro 2024 thanks to their performance and I think Nico Williams will also be happy because he will join his colleague at the same club.

[MAAManda]

Well, this would be a major step out of the mess if they can sign Williams for the set transfer fee of 60 million. With Lamine Yamal and Williams they would have one of the most promising striker duos in the world. If Yamal's development continues like this, I think he'd be in the position to become a global superstar. Williams is 5 years older though, but still very promising and high speed. At least they could build a team around those two guys and it is not like Barcelona wouldn't have any good players at the moment, but they would get away relatively cheaply due to that release clause. I guess they couldn't stem a transfer of 120+ million at this point. So this would be a perfect solution for them.

From what we saw at EURO, I agree that Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams are a suitable duo and can provide a positive boost for Barcelona. But it is not certain that Nico Williams will actually join Barcelona, ​​currently Barcelona is experiencing FFP (Financial Fair Play) problems and it's also reported that Arsenal has the intention to hijack this transfer to get Nico Williams.

This process is increasingly interesting to look forward to, hopefully what Nico Williams chooses will be a good step not only for himself, but also for his club.

I have also not heard about any confirmation that Nicole Williams will join Barcelona but I only know that they are interested in him after his great performance in Euros. If Barcelona have the funds to buy him and he accepts the offer fine, that will be a good one for them because the team will improve in the attack.

If Barcelona cannot afford to pay the amount Bilbao placed on him, I believe that Arsenal will be very much happy because they will be the one to bring him over to their club. This player is hot and the Euros made a lot of clubs to see his potential. If he leaves Bilbao, his brother Nyaki Williams will miss him a lot.

After announcing the presentation of Endrick, I heard some people saying that Real Madrid was just wasting their time on the presentation of Endrick and that the player is not worth it, some people want to use the player's performance in Copa America to judge him, we should know that Endrick is still a young player, he is 17 years old that needs to learn things before having a good performance, we all know that the player is good and Real Madrid know that they sign a good and talented player, Endrick has played four games for Brazil and he has scored 2 goals in those games.

Real Madrid never signs a player who they didn’t see a good career with, Endrick will play for Real Madrid very soon and we all will see what he is capable of doing, although I know that he is still young and he needs to improve his football knowledge but we should also know that Vinicius and other players are doing well because of ancelotti today and I have no doubt that Ancelotti is going to make Endrick a better striker that every team will be praying to have.

You are right, Nico Williams is one of Lamine Yamal teammates in the Spanish national team and seeing how he made big contribution to the team was able to bring Spain to win Euro 2024.
Of course there will be many team see his potential and want to have Nico Williams, just like Barcelona which is currently starting new season with new coach and of course has efforts to utilize summer transfer window.
Moreover, he also performed well and there have been many big changes in his development during these two seasons playing for Bilbao, I sure that move to big team can improve his quality and playing skills significantly in the future.
But seeing as several rumors circulating are all still related to Barcelona financial problems, to be honest I haven't found any clear certainty about what the future holds regarding this transfer option.

Barcelona should try to get William because if they fail and Arsenal buys the youngster, I believe Barcelona will continue to struggle to win trophies in the competition because I see Yamal and William performing well in the Euro and assisting each other. I believe that if Barcelona does everything possible to get money and buy him, he will definitely help the club and challenge other clubs in the competition. Arsenal has enough money to buy the young player, and if William moves to the club, he will still be performing great because they have young players in the clubs that will be helpful with him, so I would like Barcelona to get a vital player before the next season starts. so that he won't be affecting them and they will be leaving they have player that can help the team. And  pedri is on injured and is a very talented player that is helping Barcelona in the league if they have William now and Yamal in the pitch they will suffer the the defenders that try to stop them.

[Altryist]

There is no urgency at all for Real Madrid to re-sign Sergio Ramos, his glory days are over and his performance is starting to decline. A club like Real Madrid would prefer players who are younger and whose toughness has been proven in guarding the back line compared to players who are no longer able to produce their best performance. MLS or the Arab League might be more suitable for him to fill the void before he decides to retire, his experience is really needed there to help the development of other players.
If Sergio Ramos returns to Real Madrid, it is certain that he will play a new role there, no longer as a player. Real Madrid is very selective in choosing players, especially those who operate in the defensive area, there are still many other quality and young players who can be brought in rather than having to bring back older players.

Ramos began his career in Seville, and I assume that he will finish it there. After his decision to move to PSG, it seems to me that with this decision he made his return to Real Madrid almost impossible. Yes, he is a very good player, but to end his career as a Real Madrid legend, he needed to remain in the team. With PSG he was unable to achieve anything significant, moreover, he was often plagued by injuries. Now he has returned to Seville and this is quite symbolic, he is playing where he started.

Real Madrid utilized the qualities of the Spaniard while PSG couldn't manage the behavior and inconsistent form of Sergio Ramos. With the constant unavailability for matches and this is really one big miss for them. Sergio Ramos is aggressive defender and have won the major titles with Real Madrid before leaving for Sevilla. He's an experience defender and a keyone for every manager and club he played for.

Endrick really looks good even at this age. I watched him in Brazil shirt in some matches and really liked his style.

Madrid really wants to maximize next season with additional strength from all sides. We have known for a long time that Endrick would be joining Madrid, but now the official announcement has been made and Endrick arrival will only make Madrid even stronger in La Liga and the Champions League. In essence Florentino Perez really wants to revive Los Galacticos volume III. It is not surprising that Madrid's front, middle and back lines are the most perfect team formation.

On the other hand, €50 million in my opinion is quite commensurate with the quality of Endrick that Ancelotti will forge. Real Madrid's investment in young players never disappoints. Madrid graduates have proven capable of showing their quality in Europe. The price of €50 million for Madrid is more reasonable than having to pay more than €50 million for Yoro who ultimately chose Man United.

Ramos is a very good player until now he has a high mentality in the team and with Sevilla last season it was seen that this captain's contribution was quite big for the team, he has been great with Real Madrid and he deserves attention there even though in the end to end his performance in Madrid It's very difficult but he deserves to be called a legend there, as does C. Ronaldo, they have both fought for this big club so it is appropriate for them to get respect at Real Madrid.

However, talking about where Ramos will end up, it seems he won't end up first, of course players like him will be included in the Saudi Pro transfer, but who knows when that will happen, Sevilla is indeed a historic place too, but I don't think he will end up at that club. because the player factor is still very ideal in all competitions.

Sergio Ramos is 38 years old, that is very old to play in a European team or one that competes in a competitive league, so it is appropriate for Sergio Ramos to wait for his retirement like other players who will play in MLS or the Arab League, there is competition. not competitive so older players can still compete there, not in the top European leagues.
At the moment there are no strong rumors about Sergio Ramos' future, I think if he doesn't stay at Sevilla then he will go to the Arab league or MLS.

Sergio Ramos must be aware of his age, I don't mean to doubt this player's ability, but if the problem is age then like it or not the player must be able to realize that there are many young players who can replace his position. It is very difficult to find a European club willing to sign him, because the club will also consider the extent to which the player will contribute and how long they can use him.

Like other older players, they joined clubs outside Europe and now the most popular is to join clubs from the Saudi Pro League. I also heard that Ramos was interested in a Saudi club who wanted to bring him in for next season. Al Hilal was one of those who was rumored to be approaching Ramos, although now the rumors are no longer heard. Other news is that he is interested in one of the MLS clubs, San Diego FC, but there is no definite news regarding this rumor.

Williams himself wants to play in Barcelona and even agrees to receive a not too large salary (which will still be higher than in Bilbao) so that Barca can afford to have him on their roster.

I don't believe Williams will escape the temptation of money.

But if other big teams offered and paid high salaries, I don't believe Williams would still choose Barcelona. For example, PSG, Man City vs Arsenal offered to recruit him. In your opinion, will Williams choose a financially strong team or still choose a team in a financial crisis like Barcelona?

It's quite difficult to answer your question, because it will come back to the players themselves. The fact is that in Barcelona there are still many players who are loyal and prefer to stay even though they have the opportunity to get a bigger and smoother salary, of course. However, they prefer to stay at Barcelona because of their loyalty to the team.
I don't know if that happened to Williams whether he would have the same thoughts or be more tempted by the temptation of money. The only one who can answer that is himself, and we'll see what happens next when he joins Barcelona and gets a tempting offer.

Ramos began his career in Seville, and I assume that he will finish it there. After his decision to move to PSG, it seems to me that with this decision he made his return to Real Madrid almost impossible.

He's an experience defender and a keyone for every manager and club he played for.

There is no doubt about the quality of this player, he is a very strong defender and has helped Real Madrid win prestigious titles such as La Liga and the Champions League. However, we know that if a player wants to retire at Real Madrid it is very difficult, especially when he is old and he still wants to play. I think Kroos is one of the very lucky players because he was able to retire while still wearing the Real Madrid uniform. Not without reason, this could also happen because Kross decided to retire when his performance was still very good and I'm sure many people were surprised by the decision he took. it is difficult or even impossible if Ramos wants to retire at Real Madrid now.

After announcing the presentation of Endrick, I heard some people saying that Real Madrid was just wasting their time on the presentation of Endrick and that the player is not worth it, some people want to use the player's performance in Copa America to judge him, we should know that Endrick is still a young player,

Endrick came his posture similar to Rodrygo's. But I saw that the possession of the ball was very good. He also has quite good technique. Maybe he will be weak on the top ball, similar to Rodrygo. With the condition of 17 years old, I am quite curious whether he will enter the First Team.  With Endrick, there are more and more Madrid Young players. Their average age is currently 26 years old. They are building a team for the long term.

Bilbao will lose their valuable asset but they will also benefit from the sale of this player which is clear that Barcelona really wants this player because Barca feels that the combination of Lamine Yamal with this player will be very suitable for next season in deepening their strength as they work together in the European arena so that brings Spain won Euro 2024 thanks to their performance and I think Nico Williams will also be happy because he will join his colleague at the same club.

Somehow it's a win win situation for both teams, one is getting a quality player and the other a ton of money, Bilbao will miss their star but they made some good money of the sales, for Barcelona it's very important to them because they need to do all that they can to get their team in the best shape they can for this season because it's looking like next season is most definitely going to be very different from what they did had last season and they may face more challenges so the best they can do is to strengthen the squad as much a ls they can with the much they have in their purse and are able to spend as at this time.
