Brazilian wonderkid Endrick has acknowledged that his decision to choose Real Madrid over PSG, Barcelona, and Chelsea was influenced by his desire to emulate his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The £51 million winger also disclosed that his “friend” Vinicius Jr. helped persuade him to transfer from Palmeiras to the Bernabeu by sending him texts that gave him more hope.
The 16-year-old was signed by Real Madrid in a deal that could reach £62 million after adding over £10 million in taxes, beating out fierce competition from some of Europe’s top clubs. Even though Real Madrid has now officially announced the transfer, he will continue to play for Brazilian club Palmeiras until his departure in just over 18 months.
