2023 will be hard to forget for Endrick. At just 17 years old, the Brazilian gem found himself in all kinds of situations: from being signed by Real Madrid, experiencing a challenging period in Palmeiras’ first team, to becoming a Brasileirao champion as a key player.

That’s why, once the season was over, the forward treated himself to a well-deserved vacation before getting to know his new home. While visiting Boston, Endrick went to see the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden and even exchanged jerseys with NBA star Jayson Tatum.

Endrick, ready to travel to Madrid

The Verdao’s promising talent would stay in the U.S. city until Thursday, December 14, where the New Balance headquarters, with which he recently signed a historic contract, is located.

His flight would then head to Madrid, where a delegation led by Florentino Pérez would be waiting to welcome him to the club starting in July 2024. Endrick can only join Los Blancos when he turns 18, but in the meantime, he’s already starting to prepare the ground for his arrival.
