Carlo Ancelotti has advised Endrick to have a conversation with Real Madrid about his lack of game time this season, but hasn’t ruled out selecting the teenager in Brazil’s 2026 World Cup squad.
Endrick was built into the second coming of Pelé when he was notching goals for Palmeiras at home in Brazil from the age of 16. Real Madrid quickly secured his signature in a deal worth €60 million (£52.9 million, $69.4 million) in December 2022, 19 months before he was old enough to actually complete the transfer and mirroring their capture of a 16-year-old Vinícius Júnior in 2017.
