CHELSEA’S MIDNIGHT BOMBSHELL SABOTAGE ON WEST HAM’S €150M SUPERSTAR HEIST – BUT THE GOD-LIKE STRIKER JUST DROPPED A HEART-STOPPING VERDICT THAT’LL SHATTER ONE CLUB’S DREAMS FOREVER!

West Ham United have been leading the chase to sign Real Madrid’s young forward Endrick on loan in January, but their pursuit has now been complicated by the late involvement of Chelsea.

Talks were held with Real Madrid, and West Ham hoped to tempt Endrick to the London Stadium by offering him regular Premier League starts and a reunion with his close friend Luis Guilherme.

However, Chelsea countered by highlighting their own Palmeiras connection — Estevão, another of Endrick’s former teammates, who is already settled at Stamford Bridge.

Endrick has been frozen out at Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso, prompting the club to make him available for a temporary move.

While Chelsea are chasing attacking reinforcements to strengthen their surprise title bid, West Ham’s focus is on avoiding relegation under new manager Nuno Espírito Santo, who replaced Graham Potter after a disastrous start.

The Hammers are in desperate need of a striker, with Niclas Füllkrug sidelined again and expected to depart, leaving only the injury-prone Callum Wilson as their senior option.

That urgency pushed them to line up Endrick early, hoping he could arrive on January 1st.

However, Chelsea’s late bid disrupted West Ham’s progress. Despite both clubs’ strong interest, reports now suggest that neither will land the Brazilian teenager.

According to Transfermarkt, Endrick’s representatives have indicated he will likely join Lyon on loan for the remainder of the season — a move designed to guarantee regular game time and boost his chances of reclaiming a spot in Brazil’s World Cup squad.

With Endrick bound for France, West Ham have turned their attention back to alternative attacking targets, including Franculino Dju and Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee.
