Endrick is also a two-time top goal scorer, two-time Brasileiro Série A champion, one-time Supercopa Do Brazil champion, and one-time Copa Sao Paulo De Juniors winner. Furthermore, he has also represented the Brazilian senior national team with 2 appearances under his belt.

On the other hand, Kendry Paez, who currently plays for the Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle, has also made a name for himself at a very young age. He has already appeared in 34 matches for the club and has scored 6 goals along with 3 assists.

The teenager has already tasted success, having won the Recopa Sudamericana and the Supercopa Ecuador. He has also represented the Ecuador senior national team, earning 5 caps and even scoring 1 goal. Both Endrick and Kendry Páez possess immense potential and have undoubtedly caught the attention of top European clubs.

There’s still time for the young talents’ run in Europe

While both Endrick and Kendry Paez have secured contracts with their respective European clubs, it will be some time before fans can witness their European debut. At the age of 16, Endrick struck a deal worth $64 million with Real Madrid, but the club will have to wait until he turns 18 before finalizing the transfer. The forward’s eighteenth birthday falls in July next year, at which point Real Madrid will be able to officially sign him.

Similarly, Kendry Paez faces a comparable scenario. Last summer, Chelsea reached an agreement to acquire Endrick for approximately $22 million; however, they too are required to wait until he turns 18. Consequently, the official move will take place later in the summer of 2025.
