“We saw Chelsea play against Arsenal and we had the opportunity to see the coach, the facilities, Jorginho, César Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva.
“They explained everything to us. We were introduced to the person who would help us settle in.
“She showed us the house we would live in, the school that Endrick would attend, the church we would attend. Everything was in order for us and Chelsea.
“However, everything was twisted at the last moment: I can’t say 100% because I hadn’t signed yet, but the agreement was closed.
“I had already thought that I would live in London with all that cold weather.
“But then, at night, my son’s representative called and said that the owner of Chelsea withdrew from the deal because the price they would have to pay for Endrick would inflate the market.
“It was €60m in total for a 16-year-old boy who would arrive in the country almost two years later.
…then, Real Madrid arrived”.
