WATCH: Endrick gets away with one! Future Real Madrid wonderkid appears to PUNCH opponent in Palmeiras draw with Fortaleza - but somehow swerves red card

The highly-rated 17-year-old is heading to Spain, with a big-money move to La Liga giants Real set to be pushed through in July 2024 once he turns 18. For now, the precocious youngster continues to turn out in his native Brazil for Palmeiras.

Endrick’s exploits in front of goal have allowed him to catch Real’s eye, with the forward racking up goals despite his tender years. He is, however, proving to his future employers that he boasts much more than creative ability and finishing skills.

During a meeting with Fortaleza, with Palmerias trailing early in the second half to a goal from Thiago Galhardo, Endrick appeared to lash out at marker Titi. He was clearly not impressed with the attention being shown to him by the no-nonsense defender and looked to have delivered a punch into the midriff of his opponent.

No action was taken against Endrick, as he somehow avoided a red card, and Palmeiras went on to claim a point against Fortaleza in a 2-2 draw. The hot prospect will continue to figure prominently for them heading forward, with a senior debut for Brazil taken in during the last international break – as he became the youngest player to be selected by the Selecao since former Real and Barcelona star Ronaldo in 1994.
