Endrick already gained popularity this year when videos of his goals at the age of 15 circulated online. Now that he has broken a record in Brazil that had stood for 106 years, he is regarded as one of the game’s most exciting young players.
In light of rumours that Real Madrid will sign him before Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, The SportsGrail looks more closely at the most recent up-and-coming sensation.
Who is Endrick Felipe?
Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa, also known as Endrick, was born in the month of July 2006 with the 16 year old having a height of 1.73m. The Brazilian forward, who plays with his left foot, has his first professional contract and may play anywhere in the front line. He signed it earlier this year.
He began playing for Palmeiras when he was 11 years old, moving up through the youth teams to make his first team debut this year. Moreover, he has excelled both nationally and internationally, playing for Brazil’s under-16 team and most recently scoring against England.
Despite being only 5 feet 8 inches tall, Endrick can match up against defenders. He possesses all the qualities of a complete striker, and his play has been likened to that of Brazilian icon Ronaldo. Nevertheless, he looks up to the other Ronaldo.
Earlier this year, Endrick told Marca that Cristiano Ronaldo was “a great individual, a phenomenon. I must go in his footsteps. The Brazilian’s reputation has so far been compared to that of Neymar, who at an early age became a superstar.
On Instagram, the wonder-kid already has an astounding 1.4 million followers. He has become one of the most sought-after young players as a result of his performances and goals, which have been seen around the footballing world.
Which clubs are keen on him?
Numerous European powerhouses are lining up to sign the Brazilian as Endrick’s stock is on the rise. Man United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are all Premier League teams that have been discussed in relation to the youngster.
In an effort to make the first move to sign the 16-year-old, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also rumoured to be interested. Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly keeping an eye on his development in preparation for a potential approach in the future.
Reports imply that his contract contains a release clause, which is encouraging for these teams. However, it appears like Real Madrid has prevailed in the battle for his signing because according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, an agreement has been made. He would sign up until July 2024, when he would be 18 years old, for £62 million.
He can play any of the three forward positions – left winger, right winger, and striker but prefers to be deployed through the middle. The left footed player has 3 goals in 7 matches in the Brazil Serie A this season. He is set to take home 70 million euros including taxes and bonus from Real Madrid.
