Endrick's agent Pena has revelaed the reasons behind the successful transfer of teenage sensation Endrick to Real Madrid. The agent, who serves both Endrick and Vini Jr, labelled that Real Madrid have been active in the transfer market ever since the Los Blancos missed out on Neymar Jr at the hands of fierce rivals FC Barcelona back in 2013.
“Real Madrid decided that they were never going to miss another talent like Vini or Endrick after Neymar moved to Barcelona. Maybe there is a lesson for Chelsea because they were in front at the start but they were worried about the fee and then when Real came in and were prepared to pay what Palmeiras wanted, it became almost impossible for them," said Pena, Endrick's agent, as reported by The Telegraph.
Endrick has been an exceptional player for his side Palmeiras as the 17-year old Brazilian has scored goals and helped his side lift silverware after silverware past two years. The trophies won by Endrick so far are as follows:
- Supercopa do Brasil (2023)
- Paulista A1 (2023)
- Serie A (2022)
Endrick is a powerful left-footed striker of the ball and has great technical ability on the ball. The player can also make impressive off-the-ball diagonal runs that can stretch the backline of the opposition, which creates spaces for other forwards to capitalise upon. With Kylian Mbappe almost finalising his deal with Real Madrid, Endrick can't be guaranteed enough game time but is definitely one of the finest talents out there, and will be under the tutelage of senior Brazilian players, Vini Jr and Rodrygo.
Real Madrid's overall depth and presence of highly impactful players does send an alarming warning to all the teams out there, as Los Blancos are preparing a youth team that is potentially, going to be remembered for ages. Endrick will join the Los Blancos in the summer of 2024.
