Endrick is playing well lately.
In transfermarkt ‘s latest transfer value update, Endrick was valued at 55 million euros, higher than many stars like Joao Felix or Lionel Messi. The 17-year-old Brazilian talent also became the second most highly valued player born in 2006 in the world, after Warren Zaïre-Emery (60 million euros).
In December 2022, Real Madrid was quicker than everyone to recruit Endrick for 37.5 million euros. However, the Brazilian talent must wait until he turns 18 years old, i.e. summer 2024, before he can transfer to “Los Blancos” to play according to international transfer rules. Recently, this spearhead still plays for Palmeiras.
Since 2022, Endrick has had a meteoric rise in popularity, scoring 18 goals in 66 matches for Palmeiras. By comparison, scoring machine Erling Haaland only had 16 goals in 62 matches when he turned 18.
Last year, Endrick was called up to the Brazilian national team. A few days ago, the “rough gem” of South American football shined with a goal that helped the home team defeat England in a friendly match at Wembley Stadium. After that, Endrick continued to score when the Selecao drew with Spain 3-3.
Endrick is the biggest promising talent in Brazilian football since Neymar.
Talking about Endrick, Ronaldo “Alien” praised his junior. He commented: “I think he has a promising future. Even though he is young, Endrick has matured and behaves like a professional player”.
The former Real Madrid player also said that Endrick should have been part of the Brazilian national team attending the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“That’s what I feel is missing in the Brazilian team. In 2010, at the World Cup taking place in South Africa, Carlos Dunga did not call Neymar to the national team while all of Brazil wanted that. However, at the World Cup Cup 1994, Carlos Alberto Parreira called me (then very young – Reporter) to join the team. In 2002, Luiz Felipe Scolari also put his trust in Kaka,” Ronaldo said.
According to Brazilian football expert Filippo Silva, Endrick is the biggest promising talent in Brazilian football since Neymar. “Endrick is very different from Neymar. He is agile in front of goal and extremely strong,” said Mr. Silva.
