The Brazilian forward has amazed many in the Brazilian league at a young age. Now, in talks with some sports media, the player chooses his role models and surprises by leaving Haaland and Messi out.

His arrival to world football stardom is practically complete. A new example of this circumstance is his last interview for the American sports network ESPN. At one point in this talk, Endrick was asked to create his perfect footballer by selecting players or former players for each of the proposed attributes.

For Endrick, Cristiano Ronaldo, Modric, Toni Kroos, Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are the players who have inspired him the most and he admires qualities such as strength, speed, mentality and vision. The Brazilian forward spoke about this in a dynamic with ESPN where he chose his references and named these players.

Will Endrick be Real Madrid's new number 9?

Endrick is postulated as the great heir to the '9' left vacant by Karim Benzema since his departure to Saudi Arabia last summer. The Palmeiras striker's visits to the Valdebebas Sports City and the Santiago Bernabéu are another step in consolidating him as one of the most important players in the new sports project based on young stars.
