In December 2022, Real Madrid officially signed Endrick. At that time, the forward was only making his first steps with Palmeiras, but they were enough to catch Florentino Pérez’s eye.
That’s why the Real Madrid president didn’t hesitate to spend on the youngster, who hadn’t even turned 17 yet. According to As, the deal was closed for €35 million plus another €25 million in add-ons.

The player’s release clause at Palmeiras was €60 million, but since Real Madrid didn’t want to pay so much, they proposed a series of variables that could make the deal reach that figure:
- Endrick winning the Golden Boy award.
- Starting in a certain number of matches.
- Scoring a certain number of goals.
- Titles won with Real Madrid would also be considered.
Palmeiras, who kept the forward until he turned 18 in July 2024, have already received some payments based on goals scored by their star. Now, the remaining bonuses will depend on Endrick’s performances in Spain.
Endrick fulfills his dream in Madrid
In his presentation as a Real Madrid player, Endrick stated that Los Blancos had always been his dream club:
“I have always loved Real Madrid. I signed a long time ago. I hope to stay here for life. I am happy to have been able to sign with the president. For me, three hours is a lot, and when I was going to the locker room, it was two and a half hours and it seemed like forever. What I want is to always stay here.”
