Real Madrid has officially welcomed Endrick Felipe to the club in a grand ceremony held in Madrid, marking the end of a 584-day wait since the initial £51m deal was struck with Palmeiras.
Endrick Felipe, the Brazilian international, completed his move to Real Madrid shortly after celebrating his 18th birthday earlier this month.
His transfer had been delayed due to FIFA regulations prohibiting the international transfer of players under 18.
At just 17 years old, Endrick made headlines by debuting for the Brazil national team against Colombia in November, becoming one of the youngest players ever to represent his country.
During his presentation at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid confirmed that Endrick will wear the No. 16 jersey for the upcoming season.
This number holds special significance for him, as it was the same number he wore during his professional debut for Palmeiras in 2022.
Endrick’s contract with Real Madrid is structured in two phases due to FIFA regulations.
Initially signed until 2027, the agreement includes an extension that will keep him at the club until 2030, showcasing Real Madrid’s long-term investment in his talent.
Endrick joins Real Madrid amidst a backdrop of formidable attacking talent, following in the footsteps of Kylian Mbappe’s recent arrival.
His addition underscores Real Madrid’s commitment to bolstering their roster with promising young players.
