Endrick, Champion in Brazil: Real Madrid Picks His Shirt Number for the Next Season
Endrick will be Real Madrid’s first reinforcement for the upcoming season. The striker will arrive at the Bernabéu after being crowned champion in the Brazilian league, a tournament where he played a prominent role by scoring a total of 11 goals, the latest in the early morning against Cruzeiro.
The Brazilian forward promises to bring great joy to the Chamartín fans, showcasing an intriguing potential at just 17 years old. The Carioca will arrive in the Spanish capital already having come of age, and it is expected that he will play a significant role in the first team.
Real Madrid’s leadership wants to keep calm with Endrick, but they are aware that it is challenging. The striker is shining at Palmeiras, and in recent weeks, he has displayed glimpses of quality that have not gone unnoticed. At 17, his evolution is very promising, and Florentino is rubbing his hands together. The Madridismo, for its part, is eager to see him don the white jersey.
Every passing day makes it clear that this Juni Calafat’s gamble will be successful, as was the case with Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Eder Miltao, among others. The Carioca player, who has already been called up to the senior national team of Brazil, has everything to triumph in the world’s biggest club.
Madrid awaits him. Indeed, they do. In fact, from the highest echelons of the club, they have decided that the player will wear the ‘9’ shirt, right upon his arrival. This signifies that he will be crucial during the upcoming season. Clearly, they trust him.
And Mbappé? Many may now be thinking of Kylian Mbappé and wondering what number the Frenchman would wear. Well, the Frenchman has the ’10’ reserved for him, currently worn by Luka Modric. The Zadar native, barring a major surprise, will depart at the end of this season as his contract expires.
Therefore, all that’s left is to wait for 2024 to witness the creation of a dream team. Florentino Pérez has everything prepared to build a squad that is already quite powerful with Jude Bellingham, Vini, Rodrygo, and company.
