Endrick, a 17-year-old star player, is on his way to Real Madrid to try to become like Cristiano Ronaldo, who is his “biggest idol.”

The 17-year-old star player will move to Santiago Bernabeu when he turns 18 in July 2024. He is seen as one of the most exciting football players in the world. Along with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, both from Brazil, he is expected to do great things in Spain.

Endrick has big boots to fill in Madrid, but he is ready to embrace the challenge of emulating Ronaldo’s efforts in the Spanish capital, with the Portuguese superstar considered to be a source of inspiration for every player in the game. Endrick has told A Bola of CR7: “He’s my biggest idol, a player who broke all records by being an exemplary, dedicated player. He is more than an athlete; he is a guy that everyone should have as an example, because no matter the moment, he wants to be the best, he wants to win titles, and he wants to achieve milestones, in addition to being a person who shows humility. Any player who wants to go further in their career should look at him.

There have been many great Brazilian players in La Liga, and Endrick is ready to add his name to that list. He also talked about getting a big-money transfer while on a trip to Europe, saying, “I have always wanted to play for Real Madrid; it is always been my top priority. Now, on this trip to Madrid, I have been able to get a better feel for what I will find there—the atmosphere, my future teammates, and the facilities.” I was very happy, but when we get back to Brazil, we will flip this switch and turn on another one because I still have more games to play with Palmeiras this semester, and my goal is to win all the titles I play in.

Endrick has been a regular source of goals for Palmeiras, with his lack of experience being overcome in style, and he has already earned two senior caps for Brazil, becoming their fourth-youngest player of all time and youngest debutant in 57 years.
