Endrick has revealed the secret to securing a move to Real Madrid at just 16.

It is clear that Endrick is not like other teenagers. At 16 he made his professional debut for Palmeiras, becoming the club's youngest-ever senior player after scoring 165 goals in 169 games for the academy. Naturally, he went on to become the league's second-youngest goalscorer within weeks.

After a few months of professional football the Brazilian signed a contract with Real Madrid, with that move set to take place in July 2024.

At 17, he received his first call-up with Brazil while months later he starred as Palmeiras claimed a second Brazilian Serie A victory in succession.

It’s a sharp upward trajectory for a player not yet old enough to legally buy a drink.

But in an interview with the Spanish publication Marca, Endrick revealed that his mentality has set him apart from other players his age.

The youngster said: "Since I was very young I have had to prove that I am not afraid of anyone. It all started when I was very young. I just wanted to play football.

“I was very clear about that and for that, you can't be afraid of anyone or anything and that's what I did since I was very young."

Already, Endrick is relishing the prospect of playing alongside compatriots Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo with Los Blancos.

He said: "It will be a lot of responsibility, a great challenge.

“I am very excited to play with that shirt and to enjoy it with the fans. It's a dream I've had since I was a kid, to be part of Real Madrid.

“I know that I still have challenges ahead of me in Palmeiras and I have to fulfil them or at least help my team to be at the top, but of course, I'm already thinking about Real Madrid."

Endrick continued: "I've had the opportunity to spend time with [Vinicius and Rodyrgo]. Remember that picture of the three of them on the bike training? They asked me if I was going on holiday, that I had to go.

“They have told me many things about the day-to-day, about the importance of everything that happens, about the greatness that it has in every way, but they tell me that you realise it when you are there."
