Brazilian Endrick, who will join Real Madrid next summer, is absolutely not tempted by alcoholic drinks.

On December 15, Real Madrid announced in a press release that an agreement had been reached with the Palmeiras club for the arrival of Endrick next July. A transfer valued at 35 million euros to which are added 25 million bonuses.

This 17-year-old Brazilian, with well-above-average technical skills, has already warned that he will not have a reckless tendency to party. “I don’t want to drink because unfortunately, with the things I’ve experienced in my family, I know that alcohol is not for me”explained the Auriverde center forward during an interview given at CazéTV. Endrick grew up in unfavorable circumstances, with a father unable to provide for him. He was unemployed before being offered a job as a maintenance worker by the Palmeiras club.

Before signing for Real Madrid, Endrick was very close to signing for Chelsea. “We received an invitation from Chelsea, from the owner, and we went there to see the club and the country. We saw Chelsea play against Arsenal and we had the opportunity to see the coach, the facilities, Jorginho, César Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva”, said Douglas, Endrick’s father, in a statement reported by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. This visit was carried out in November 2022.
