Endrick

Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa — Endrick — arrived at Real Madrid in the summer of 2024 aged 17, from Palmeiras for €60 million. The Brazilian forward, considered the greatest talent of his generation in South America, completed a negotiation process that Madrid closed before the player had made his professional debut.

His integration at the white club is framed within the young talent recruitment strategy that Madrid has executed with great success in recent years: just as Vinicius Jr. arrived at 17 and took four seasons to consolidate as the best winger in the world, Endrick has a similar projection.

His characteristics are those of a complete centre-forward with elite projection: physical power, explosive pace, technical quality for control in tight spaces and a penalty area finish that has generated comparisons with the best Brazilian forwards of recent decades.

With the Brazilian national team, he made his debut while still a minor and scored at Copa América 2024, confirming that the context of a major competition does not intimidate him. His adaptation to European football, especially the defensive rhythm of LaLiga and the Champions League, will be the great formative process of his first seasons in Madrid.
