Silva is seen as a hero in his home country and will expand his 109 caps at the World Cup later this month.
Left-footed Endrick is the youngest Palmeiras player ever. He made his debut at the age of 16 and 16 days and has already scored three goals for the club in the Brazilian top league.
Endrick’s father, Douglas, is believed to have been in talks with clubs in Europe for the talented teenager, who has scored 165 goals in 169 appearances for the Palmeiras academy team.

It takes a significant financial package to sign the young star, but his parents are also eager to clarify a path and environment in which this son can thrive.
Endrick is being advised by the same sports agency that also represents fellow Brazilian Vinicius Jr, who moved from Flamengo to Real Madrid in 2018.
Any move for the teenage star could be confirmed in early 2023, and the striker would be eligible to move the following year after his 18th birthday.
Chelsea have formed a new recruiting team under new owner Todd Boehly and have appointed Joe Shield as director, while Christopher Vivell and Paul Winstanley are expected to join him.
