'It wasn't a choice' - Endrick explains why he decided to join Real Madrid over Barcelona and PSG as Brazilian wonderkid reveals relationship with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo

The move comes after Madrid paid a record fee of €60 million (£52m/$64m) to Palmeiras, to march ahead of competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Despite interest from several top European clubs, Endrick was clear about his intentions."It wasn't a choice," he stated in an interview with <a href="https://as.com/futbol/primera/endrick-el-real-madrid-no-fue-una-eleccion-fue-un-sueno-n/" target="_blank">AS</a>.

The teenager already shares an incredible bond with the trio and hailed Vinicius and Rodrygo as his "inspiration"."It's very good," Endrick said of his relationship with them. "They are young people, also Brazilians, who adapted very well to both the city and the club. Their story, both Vini's and Rodrygo's, is an inspiration and they are going to help me a lot."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Endrick's ambition doesn't stop at joining the team. He is fully aware of the high expectations that come with playing for Real Madrid and is already hoping to be crowned a European champion after making his move to Real. "More than wanting, I know that it is mandatory to be European champion if you are in Madrid," he asserted. "The Champions League is a tournament that Madrid always thinks about, and the team should not start the season with any other objective than that."
