The attacker of 16 years will arrive to Santiago Bernabéu in 2024 and left clear that never thought in signing by another club in spite of the diverse quantity of offers on his table.

Endrick Always had to the Madrid in mind

It began desvelando the reasons by which accepted the proposal merengue above all the other. "The Real Madrid is the team that grew seeing play. When it began me to like more was to look for more than the history and until there is a fun anecdote: my name did not go to be Endrick, went to be Gave Stéfano, that was a player of the Madrid. Also I looked the Brazilians that have played like Ronaldo, Vinicius now, Rodrigo, Militao... I interested me by the biggest club of Europe. I saw a challenge for me try play here. It was the team that always wanted. Therefore I opted for choosing the Real Madrid", aimed.

On the same line, it mentioned the words that has been able to share with Vinicius Júnior, one of the maximum referents of the white group. "Vinicius Is fellow mine. I could spend the holidays with him, I could see it and speak with him. It said me that I go to be well. It is a message very well knowing that it is the word of a player that is here and besides is Brazilian also. His word gave me even more forces to close it with the Real Madrid. It is an idol for me. It can turn into a mirror for a lot of people", affirmed Endrick.

The Barça never was an option

Near to finalise, left clear that never thought in the FC Barcelona like real option in Europe. "To me at all it mattered me more than the Real Madrid. To be honest, whenever it went out some team I asked if would have the opportunity to choose to the Madrid. Only it wanted to know if they were interested in me. The price did not matter, in the absolute. It wanted to fulfil a dream of my infancy and also the one of my family. I wanted to go to the Real Madrid at all times, to play in the biggest club of Europe and where was my idol, Cristiano Ronaldo"

Finally, it was asked on his opinion about that Ronaldo Nazario was the last '9' Brazilian of the Madrid. "The nine is a very emblematic number. A good number. I can say that I am it because I carry the nine of the Palmeiras. Thank heaven I could take the nine and play with him. It is a number that likes me. Always I have carried it in inferior categories, but personally does not matter me a lot the number. Only I want to play. The number gives me the same", concluded.
