Endrick is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Palmeiras in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and the Brazil national team.
He is set to join Real Madrid in La Liga in July 2024.
Early life
Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa was born on July 21, 2006 in Taguatinga, Federal District.
He has two sisters and one brother. His father, Douglas de Sousa Silva Ramos, pursued a football career, leaving the family when Endrick was eleven to play for various small clubs in Brasília. His mother faced unemployment and homelessness, leading Endrick and his siblings to stay in a São Paulo orphanage until his father’s return six months later. Both parents worked at a café in the city’s underground train station until his father found employment as a janitor at Palmeiras.
Career
Endrick joined Palmeiras’ youth team at 11 after nearly signing for São Paulo. Within five years, he scored 165 goals in 169 games for Palmeiras’ youth teams. He gained attention after leading Palmeiras to victory in the 2022 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.
Making his senior debut in 2022, Endrick quickly became the youngest player to appear for Palmeiras’ first team and went on to win the league with them. He was voted the most promising player in the Série A at the season’s end.
Endrick received international recognition when named by The Guardian as one of the best talents born in 2006. Despite a goal-drought, he played pivotal roles in crucial wins for Palmeiras.
Real Madrid announced his signing in December 2022, with Endrick set to join them in July 2024. He showcased his talent internationally, winning the Montaigu Tournament with Brazil’s under-17 team and participating in the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Endrick made his senior national team debut in 2023, becoming Brazil’s youngest male player since Ronaldo. He scored his first goal for Brazil in a friendly against England in 2024 and was later called up for the 2024 Copa América.
Personal life 
Endrick’s football journey began at four, with his father sharing his goals on YouTube to catch the attention of major Brazilian clubs. Motivated to support his family after facing financial difficulties, Endrick set his sights on becoming a professional footballer. At eight, he attended a Real Madrid camp with friends in Águas Claras, fueled by his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo and other Brazilian stars who played for Madrid. Despite facing racism, Endrick remained determined to pursue his dreams on the pitch.
