Real Madrid officially presented 18-year-old Brazilian forward Endrick Felipe as their new signing on July 27, 2024, at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The young talent, who had agreed to join the club in December 2022, signed a six-year contract until 2030 after completing medical examinations. The transfer from Palmeiras reportedly cost Real Madrid between 41.25 and 60 million euros, depending on various sources.During the emotional presentation, Endrick was visibly moved, saying in fluent Spanish, “I’m so happy. I’ve always been a big fan of Real Madrid and today I’m playing here. It’s crazy. I have no words to describe what I’m feeling. I’ve always dreamed of being here and today it’s come true”. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez welcomed Endrick, stating, “We give a warm welcome to a player born to wear the Real Madrid jersey. This team will continue to give us many joys, wants to continue winning everything and we work to strengthen the hopes of all fans”.Endrick will wear the number 16 jersey for Real Madrid, a number previously worn by players such as Casemiro, Mattéo Kovacic, and Emilio Butragueño. The young forward is set to join the team’s pre-season training in the United States, where he will work under Carlo Ancelotti’s guidance. He will face competition for playing time from other talented players, including recent signing Kylian Mbappé.Interestingly, Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr reportedly played a crucial role in convincing Endrick to join the club, similar to his influence in Jude Bellingham’s transfer last year. As Real Madrid continues to strengthen its squad with young talent, Endrick’s signing is seen as a major coup for the club, with high expectations for his immediate impact on the team.
