In December of 2022, Real Madrid signed the 17-year-old Brazilian Endrick from Palmeiras for £52 million ($64m), but due to a FIFA rule, he will join the Spanish Giants in July 2024. Now, Endrick was spotted meeting with the manager Carlo Ancelotti and his new teammates Jude Bellingham and Luka Modric, among others.

It has been reported that Endrick, 17, hasn’t joined Real Madrid in Spain yet because FIFA rules prohibit a player under the age of 18 from getting transferred abroad. Therefore, the Brazilian will not be in the scheme of things for the Galacticos until July 20, 2024, a day before he turns 18 years of age.
The video posted on their official Instagram of Real Madrid had Endrick getting a few words of encouragement before a hug from the manager Carlo Ancelotti. Then, he went on to exchange a few pleasantries with Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Eduardo Camavinga, Thibaut Courtois, Lucas Vazquez, and many other Real Madrid players, while Jude Bellingham was very impressed with his linguistic skills, remarking “Good English hey!”
