Brazilian rising star Endrick has named the Real Madrid legend he wants to emulate when he moves to the club in the summer.

The 17-year-old has already begun to follow in the footsteps of his future teammate Jude Bellingham by recently copying the English star’s celebration and has given a more detailed idea of ​​his plans in Madrid.

Endrick will join a growing list of Brazilian stars at the club when he leaves South America for Spain, with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo already first-team stars in Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Madrid beat Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain to the youngster’s signature when they agreed a deal with Palmeiras worth an estimated £62 million, including more than £10 million in taxes yet to be added.

He has remained with the Brazilian team since the deal was completed in December 2022 due to rules regarding the transfer of under-18 players, but will move to the club in the summer.

A decision yet to be made is the shirt number that Endrick will wear and the future star has stated that he wants to wear Madrid’s legendary number 7 shirt, the most famous worn in recent times by Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, fellow Brazilian star Vinicius Jnr is currently wearing the iconic digit since signing a new contract with the club and is unlikely to abandon it anytime soon.

Speaking to Placar TV, Endrick said: “I’m not too worried about numbers, but my favorite is the number seven. That’s what I use in video games when I play NBA and FIFA.

Ronaldo is one of the iconic players who wore Madrid's legendary number seven shirt during his time at the club.

‘It’s a number that draws a lot of attention to me because Cristiano (Ronaldo) had seven and I also really like (NBA star) Luka Doncic, who is a guy who wears 77, a high number. It’s a number that I look at and see that stands out.

‘I like it a lot, but I don’t know. I have played with 11, with 10, with seven… now I am the nine in Palmeiras.

Another option could be for Endrick to don the number 9 shirt, but he also admitted there is pressure on that as Brazil and Madrid legend Ronaldo once wore the shirt.

“It’s a big number too, but it always comes with a lot of responsibility,” he added.
