New Real Madrid signing Endrick teases announcement 'that will shake the world of sports' in cryptic Instagram post

Endrick took to Instagram to declare that something big is coming for him, stating that he will make an appearance on ESPN - the Brazilian arm of the sports network - on June 20 to reveal exactly what.

Endrick was holding a shirt in his post, but not a Real Madrid shirt. The number 26 on the back also isn't likely to be a clue as to the one he will be assigned at the Benabeu as Spanish football regulations only consider those one to 25 as 'first-team' jerseys. It could, however, be a nod to a potential new shirt number.

Endrick's Instagram caption read: "I don't know if y'all ready for this. On June 20th I will be on ESPN to tell a news that will shake the world of sports."

Endrick is currently with the Brazil squad preparing for the Copa America, set to play their opening game against Costa Rica on June 24. By the the time the tournament finishes in mid-July, the teenager will be just a week away from his 18th birthday, at which point he will finally be able to link up with Real Madrid. Given that he is only midway through what would have been his 2024 season with Palmeiras, Endrick could even feature for his new club on their tour to the United States in the first week of August.
