This Thursday an open secret was confirmed. Endrick, a very young striker for Palmeiras, is Real Madrid’s latest bet. The white club and the Brazilian signed a contract that will take the footballer to the white squad in 2024, when he turns 18. Meanwhile, he will remain at Palmeiras on loan, completing his formation.
To this day the striker he is only 16 years oldThat is why his incorporation into Madrid must be delayed until he reaches the age of majority. But the moment to close the signing was now or never, since other great European teams such as Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona had taken an interest in him. He has cost 60 million, a very striking figure for a teenager, but due to his potential, he could cost much more in the future, once confirmed as a world star.
Endrick is a left-footed attacker, with a powerful stride, great eye for goal and exquisite technical conditions, ingredients that had made him a the sensation of Palmeiras despite his young age.
To explain his signing and given the general ignorance about his game, Real Madrid himself has shared a video on social networks with the best moments of the young Brazilian footballer.
With the signing of Endrick, Real Madrid follows the strategy established by its president, Florentino Pérez, in recent years. Given the irruption in the market of large clubs financially doped by the fortunes of their owners, which sometimes even have countries like Qatar or the United Arab Emirates behind them, the white club has opted to detect early talent to incorporate it before its price run wild
This is how Madrid acted in cases of Vinicius or Rodrygo, today fundamental players of the first team and who have multiplied their value. Although it should also be noted that this strategy was not always successful, as other signings such as Lucas Silva or Reinier Jesús did not turn out as expected.
