Although there are countless figures in the Brasileirão, there are two names that attract a lot of attention due to the expectations placed on them. It treats of Endrick and Vitor Roque, two promises of the Brazilian football that already have European destiny. While the Palmeiras jewel was signed by Real Madrid, the Athletico Paranaense striker will join Barcelona in 2024.
Both players have given reasons for the Spanish giants to be interested in them, and that they still have a long way to go. However, the two Brazilian promises are going through completely different moments in their country.

Palmeiras shines without Endrick
Although Palmeiras enjoys a spectacular present, Endrick has little to do with the team’s great run. Verdão have won four in a row, but the 17-year-old striker is quite relegated in the consideration of Abel Ferreira, who usually opts for Rony or José López to lead the attack front.
The future reinforcement of Madrid added minutes in just two of the last nine games, and only started in the defeat against Fluminense. In fact, Endrick has gone three games in a row without participating. On Wednesday (30), he could have the opportunity to return to the field of play in the rematch against Deportivo Pereira for the Libertadores quarterfinals, since Palmeiras thrashed the Colombian team 4-0 in the first leg.
Vitor Roque shines, although Paranaense suffers
Roque’s situation is the opposite. While Athletico Paranaense is struggling to get results, Tigrinho’s form is excellent. He more than fulfills his role as a starting striker, since he accumulates three cries in his last four appearances. In total, he has 19 this season (25 if his six goals with Brazil in the South American U-20 are counted).
