Real Madrid are paying €60m to sign Brazilian player Andric, 16, from Brazilian Palmeiras, but he will remain in their ranks until the summer of 2024 before moving to the Spanish capital when he turns 18.
About two years, the “royalty” will wait for the arrival of his young star, in which he hopes to repeat the story of Vinicius Junior, who bought him from Flamengo for 45 million euros in 2017. Meringue waited a whole year before of him reached the age of 18 and joined him, and did the same with Rodrigo, who lured him from Santos in 2018 for 40. million euros, and waited a year to join him in 2019.

Andrek scored 3 goals in an annual charity match organized by former Brazilian soccer star Zico, which was watched by more than 60,000 people.
Andrek told Marca: “The move to Real Madrid is a gift from God. I am looking forward to 2024, and at that moment I am a Palmeiras player. I will encourage Real Madrid from afar. I wish my friend Vinicius and to the rest of the Brazilians in the team have a wonderful season and win the Champions League, La Liga and the Copa del Rey”.
And he added that he had chosen to move to Real Madrid, even though there were many teams that wanted to take him, due to “the messages and advice from Venice, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo, my role model who played for Real Madrid, and this choice of mine – in my opinion – is correct because God helped me in it”.
Vinicius Junior wants to be Endrick’s “mentor” and do for the young promise what Casemiro did for him.

And on his relationship with Vinicius, Andrique revealed that the Brazilian international “has talked to me a lot and sent me a lot of advice, and I don’t want to reveal everything and I’ll keep it to myself. He’s my friend and our friendship will extend for many years and I hope we will play together, exchange passes and score goals.”
He explained that he had spoken with Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid coach) and with Militao and Rodrigo, and I hope the next few days bring goodness and happiness, but my feet are still on the ground.
Interestingly, Real Madrid was able to overcome several clubs that were courting talent, who should have a promising future in Europe.
