There are players who were born to mark an era. It already happened with Pelé, then with Diego Armando Maradona, and more recently with Lionel Messi. Now, everything indicates that the young Brazilian gem, Endrick, will be one of those soccer players. At 17 years old, the young man from Palmeiras is one of the great promises of world football and his future is at Real Madrid, where he will join when the season ends.

Real Madrid has signed one of the most promising players today. The young pearl of Palmeiras will play for the white club starting in July 2024, when she reaches the age of majority, as stipulated by FIFA, and until then, she will remain in Brazil, in the club that saw her take her first steps as footballer and that has launched him to stardom.

According to the journalist Fabrizio Romano, the sale would have closed at €72 million (€35M fixed plus €25M in variables and another €12M in taxes), making it one of the most expensive transfers in the history of Brazilian football, only behind Neymar Jr, for whom FC Barcelona paid €88M.

On the other hand there is Kylian Mbappé, without a doubt one of the great stars of world football at the moment. The great jewel of Paris Saint-Germain, world champion with the French National Team in 2018, has been one of the great desires of the white team and of Florentino Pérez, which has slipped through his fingers several seasons ago.

 

While they paid €72M for Endrick, the very low value that Mbappé had in his beginnings

There is no doubt that eyes are on the young Endrick for the future due to the great potential he can show at Real Madrid, which reminds us of the beginnings of Kylian Mbappé, who at 17 years old also dazzled everyone in AS Monaco and for whom PSG paid a good sum of money (€140M in 2017). But in his first steps in Monaco, in 2016, Mbappé had the paltry value of €1M.
