On July 21, a special day for Real Madrid, Endrick celebrated his 18th birthday, and after 584 days of waiting, Real Madrid finally officially signed the super talent of the Brazil national team. Endrick will appear at the Bernabeu Stadium on July 27 at 12:00 local time in Spain and attend Real Madrid's press conference and signing ceremony.
Back on December 15, 2022, Real Madrid's chief scout Juni· Calafate went to Brazil to beat Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Barcelona to reach a transfer agreement with Palmeiras, signing Endrick and signing him on a six-year contract, which frustrated PSG's plan to package Endrick and Estewang for 80 million euros. The transfer agreement reached between Real Madrid and Palmeiras is a fixed transfer fee of 35 million euros plus a floating clause of 25 million euros, and the transfer fee can reach up to 60 million euros, and Endrick has not yet joined Real Madrid, a floating clause of 12.5 million euros has been agreed, which means that Real Madrid has paid 47.5 million euros to Palmeiras for Endrick.
Endrick, who has just turned 18 years old, is a talented player from the Palmeiras Academy, with very strong dribbling ability and shooting accuracy, as well as a good long-range shooting ability, the only drawback is that the lack of strength leads to poor physical confrontation, and he suffers very much when dribbling the ball. In 2022, Endrick was promoted to the first team by Palmeiras, and so far has made 82 appearances for Palmeiras, scoring 21 goals and providing four assists, and won the 2022 Liga title and the 2023 treble. Endrick is currently valued at 60 million euros in Germany.
On November 17, 2023, in Brazil's 2-1 defeat to Colombia in the World Cup qualifiers, Endrick made his international debut as a substitute, becoming the youngest player to appear for the Brazil national team since Ronaldo. On March 24, 2024, in a friendly match between Brazil and England, Endrick scored a goal to become the youngest player to score his first goal for Brazil after Ronaldo. On June 25, 2024, in the first round of the Copa America group stage, Real Madrid drew 0:0 with Costa Rica, and Endrick came off the bench to make his Copa America debut, becoming the youngest debut player of Brazil in the 105-year history of the Copa America. Endrick has made 10 appearances for Brazil, one of which was a start, scoring three goals.
Although Endrick has made a name for himself at a young age, he does not have the vices of most Brazil players. He left for Spain a week after Brazil's Copa America elimination and, although not yet a Real Madrid player, Endrick has been training with the team since 16 July. Although Endrick will not be able to compete with Mbappe in the new season, if Endrick can continue to work like this, perhaps one of Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo will have to be relinquished by him in the future.
