MU leads in signing Real Madrid star, Cole Palmer reveals he's close to joining Old Trafford.

Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign a Real Madrid star that potential manager Jurgen Klopp wants to keep, while his friend Cole Palmer reveals a Chelsea striker is close to joining Old Trafford.

From Spain, Fichajes reports that Manchester United has overtaken its rivals in the Premier League and Europe, leading the race to sign Real Madrid's young star, Endrick.

The 19-year-old Brazilian talent decided to leave Real Madrid and join Lyon (Ligue 1) on loan last January, after failing to accumulate a total of 100 minutes of playing time since the start of the season.

There are speculations that Endrick is ready to leave Real Madrid permanently, after the difficulties he has faced at the Bernabeu and the feeling of not being treated fairly.

Sources say Endrick is on Manchester United's radar and they believe this is a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to bring the young Real Madrid star to Old Trafford.

Notably, Endrick is a player Jurgen Klopp reportedly asked to bring back during negotiations for the potential Real Madrid head coach position.

Besides targeting Endrick, MU is reportedly also busy with other transfer plans and they hope to spend a lot of money (from £200 million or more), as that would mean Carrick's team would secure a place in the Champions League next season.

Amidst recent rumors that Cole Palmer is on the verge of joining Old Trafford, new developments have further intensified the speculation surrounding this transfer.

Specifically, in the image posted by the Chelsea striker, his friend, rapper Tunde, reposted it, hinting at Cole Palmer joining Manchester United.

“ One day, I will bring Cole Palmer back home – to Manchester United, back to where he belongs. Ask him what Palmer’s favorite team is .”

Cole Palmer is reportedly not happy with life in London, with the Guardian reporting he is " homesick " and " considering a return to Manchester " this summer.

The 23-year-old star came through the Manchester City academy before joining the first team. However, he wasn't a first-choice player for Pep Guardiola, so he decided to move to Chelsea in the summer of 2023 for £40 million.

Although he's been associated with Man City since childhood, Manchester United is Cole Palmer's favorite team.
