Brazilian sensation [Endrick](https://www.transfermarkt.co.in/endrick/profil/spieler/971570) has signed a professional deal with Palmeiras, having turned 16 years old. Amid interest from the best clubs in Europe such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Manchester United, the youngster has signed his first contract with Palmeiras, and will be featuring for the first team officially. 

The contract signed is until June 2025, and contains a release clause worth €60 million. This would make the teenager one of the most expensive Brazilian transfers of all-time, following in the footsteps of Neymar, [Vinicius Jr](https://technosports.co.in/2022/05/13/benzema-equals-real-madrid-raul-vini/)and Rodrygo.

After impressing in the last Copinha, the youngster was able to get on the radar of the top clubs across Europe. The Copinha is one of the most popular under-20 tournaments in Brazil, which has given rise to some of the best talents across the country. 

Despite being younger than most of his teammates, he performed superbly, and scored six goals in seven games on the way to lift the title.

Endrick possesses a dribbling ability that is nothing short of gifted, and has a ridiculous goalscoring record at a young age too. He has scored over 170 times over the span of five years, and is a massive name among the fans of the club. 

It will be very interesting to see how Endrick performs in the first team, and whether or not he will be moving to Europe like many other of his compatriots before him.
