Endrick is expected to be unveiled as a Real Madrid player next month after he officially signs his contract on his 18th birthday.

Real Madrid struck a deal to sign the 17-year-old from Brazilian side Palmeiras for an initial down payment of €35million plus €25m in bonuses.

He will now sign his contract in Madrid on July 21 before being unveiled on July 26, with the Santiago Bernabeu as a strong option, with supporters present. He is expected to speak in Spanish after studying the language ahead of his move.

He will then join the team on the pre-season tour in the United States.

Endrick’s unveiling will follow Kylian Mbappe’s own presentation as a Real Madrid player on July 16, following the conclusion of the European Championship.

The France international is expected to take the No. 9 shirt in the Spanish capital with Endrick likely to be given 16, his first number at Palmeiras.

Endrick is currently on duty for Brazil at Copa America. They begin their campaign against Costa Rica at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Monday.

“No one needs to skip steps,” he said when asked about when he would start for his national team. “Everything will happen in its own time. Everything in God’s time – and Dorival’s.

“He’s a spectacular coach. He’s doing what’s best for the team, not just Endrick, Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo. I think he’s doing the right thing.”

Endrick made 22 appearances in all competitions for Palmeiras this season, scoring four goals.
