Standout with the Brazilian National Team
After shining in the friendlies against England and Spain, where he scored goals in both matches, Endrick gained prominence not only on the field but also on social media, amassing nearly 1 million new followers across his accounts, including Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter.
This Thursday, Palmeiras faces Novorizontino in the Paulistão semifinal, and although coach Abel Ferreira has not indicated whether Endrick will start, his presence is eagerly awaited by the fans.
The young striker, aged 18, was sold to Real Madrid and will join the new club upon reaching legal age in July. Therefore, the Campeonato Paulista becomes the only competition he can still fully participate in for Palmeiras before his transfer to Spain.
Last title at Verdão
Despite his imminent departure, Endrick still has the opportunity to contribute to Palmeiras in other competitions such as the Copa do Brasil, the Conmebol Libertadores, and the Brasileirão.
However, the Paulistão represents a unique chance for the player to win another title for the club where he was developed.
Will he be missed?
As he prepares for his farewell, Palmeiras is already planning a documentary that will portray Endrick’s journey from his early days at the club to his rise to the Brazilian national team.
The production, set to be released as a miniseries in the second half of the year, promises to show behind-the-scenes footage of the young striker’s journey and his impact on the national and international football scene.
Impressive Numbers
With a record of 18 goals in 66 games as a professional at Palmeiras and several titles won, the youngster leaves his mark on the green and white club as a promise that will soon soar even higher in the world of football.
