Palmeiras wonderkid target Endrick admits that moving to Stamford Bridge would have been a dream.
The youngster is set to sign for Real Madrid and will become their latest young superstar.
However, the Brazilian is aware of the long-term interest that Chelsea held for him.
Speaking to the Athletic, he said: "At one point, there was a lot of talk about Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe for Madrid and that was when there was strong interest from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
"Of course, they are big and important teams. I am very interested in them and they would be excellent options. I was attracted by the Premier League, the city of London and the fact that English is the economically dominant language in the world. And obviously Chelsea is a strong brand that has won two Champions Leagues.
"I was told that it rains a lot in London, but that wouldn't be a problem because, as my father used to say, I always liked playing in the rain. But I always made it clear to my agent that my dream was Real Madrid."
