## Palmeiras
Endrick joined Palmeiras' academy in 2016 at age 10 and rose through every youth level of the club.[1](https://www.realmadrid.com/en-US/football/first-team/players/endrick-felipe-moreira-de-sousa) • [7](https://www.realmadrid.com/pt-PT/noticias/futebol/primeira-equipa/atualidade/o-percurso-de-endrick) He became the youngest player in Palmeiras history to debut for the first team, at 16 years, 2 months, and 15 days, and the youngest to score, at 16 years, 3 months, and 4 days.[7](https://www.realmadrid.com/pt-PT/noticias/futebol/primeira-equipa/atualidade/o-percurso-de-endrick)
**2022 breakthrough.** Playing for Palmeiras' under-20 side at age 15 in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, the leading Brazilian showcase for under-20 players, he scored six goals in 294 minutes across seven games, about 1.84 goals per 90, as Palmeiras won the Copinha for the first time.[8](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/endrick-at-palmeiras-2022-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics) In the same year he won the Brazilian league with three goals and one assist in seven matches and was named the championship's revelation player.[7](https://www.realmadrid.com/pt-PT/noticias/futebol/primeira-equipa/atualidade/o-percurso-de-endrick) Before leaving for Europe he had made 82 appearances for the São Paulo club, scored 21 goals, and won the Brazilian championship twice.[4](https://echanges.dila.gouv.fr/OPENDATA/AMF/ACT/2025/12/FCACT077600_20251223.pdf)
His move to Real Madrid became the largest sale in the history of Brazilian football: AS put the total figure at up to 72 million euros including performance bonuses tied to a possible return to Palmeiras, while [El País](https://www.edgepedia.org/el-pais) reported that Madrid paid Palmeiras about 48 million euros for the transfer.[9](https://as.com/futbol/internacional/palmeiras-elite-mundial-f202608-n/) • [10](https://elpais.com/deportes/futbol/2026-03-19/el-viaje-de-endrick-un-reves-en-el-madrid-y-una-cesion-al-lyon-para-estar-con-brasil-en-el-mundial-2026.html)
## Real Madrid
Endrick joined Real Madrid in July 2024, after turning 18.[10](https://elpais.com/deportes/futbol/2026-03-19/el-viaje-de-endrick-un-reves-en-el-madrid-y-una-cesion-al-lyon-para-estar-con-brasil-en-el-mundial-2026.html) Across two seasons with the club he played 40 official matches and scored 7 goals, one of them on his [La Liga](https://www.edgepedia.org/la-liga) debut, and won two titles, the Copa Intercontinental and the European Super Cup.[5](https://www.realmadrid.com/es-ES/noticias/futbol/primer-equipo/actualidad/endrick-cumple-20-anos-21-07-2026) Early on he became the youngest player in the club's history to score in the Champions League, ahead of Raúl.[11](https://as.com/futbol/primera/endrick-siempre-golpea-primero-n/)
**Limited minutes in 2025-26.** In the first half of the 2025-26 season he received only 11 minutes of play, a situation he attributed partly to the emergence of academy forward Gonzalo García and to hamstring problems at the start of the campaign.[12](https://snrtnews.com/fr/article/prete-a-lol-le-bresilien-endrick-fait-son-retour-au-real-madrid-152331) • [10](https://elpais.com/deportes/futbol/2026-03-19/el-viaje-de-endrick-un-reves-en-el-madrid-y-una-cesion-al-lyon-para-estar-con-brasil-en-el-mundial-2026.html) Seeking regular playing time to keep his place with Brazil ahead of the 2026 World Cup, he accepted a loan move to France.[13](https://ediciones.laprensa.hn/media/pdfs/LP2025-12-23-lQuHfe8zOnmN.pdf)
## Loan to Lyon
On 23 December 2025, Real Madrid and Olympique Lyonnais announced a loan agreement running to the end of the season, 30 June 2026.[14](https://www.realmadrid.com/en-US/news/club/announcements/comunicado-oficial-endrick-23-12-2025) Lyon described the deal as a paid loan worth up to €1 million, without an option to buy.[4](https://echanges.dila.gouv.fr/OPENDATA/AMF/ACT/2025/12/FCACT077600_20251223.pdf) • [12](https://snrtnews.com/fr/article/prete-a-lol-le-bresilien-endrick-fait-son-retour-au-real-madrid-152331)
The loan revived his form. He scored a hat trick in only his second game for the club[15](https://www.arabtimesonline.com/arabtimes/uploads/images/2026/02/03/111285.pdf) and finished with 8 goals and 8 assists in 21 matches, taking part in a goal every 102 minutes.[6](https://as.com/futbol/primera/endrick-esta-en-el-alambre-f202608-n/) He led all forwards aged 19 or younger in combined goals and assists in [Ligue 1](https://www.edgepedia.org/ligue-1) in 2025-26, with 12.[16](https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask?l=ligue1&q=most+g%2Fa+by+u19+forward+this+season)
He returned to Madrid in May 2026 after six months in France.[12](https://snrtnews.com/fr/article/prete-a-lol-le-bresilien-endrick-fait-son-retour-au-real-madrid-152331) He spent part of September 2026 recovering from muscular problems, training individually at Valdebebas.[17](https://as.com/futbol/la-encrucijada-de-endrick-f202608-n/)
## Brazil
Endrick has been a senior international since November 2023, debuting at 17, and had scored four goals for Brazil by his 20th birthday.[5](https://www.realmadrid.com/es-ES/noticias/futbol/primer-equipo/actualidad/endrick-cumple-20-anos-21-07-2026) L'Équipe credits him with 24 selections and 4 goals, and one World Cup participation, in 2026.[2](https://www.lequipe.fr/fiche/endrick/161723) His move to Lyon was explicitly aimed at securing minutes before the 2026 World Cup, and the loan carried him to the tournament.[13](https://ediciones.laprensa.hn/media/pdfs/LP2025-12-23-lQuHfe8zOnmN.pdf) • [17](https://as.com/futbol/la-encrucijada-de-endrick-f202608-n/)
## Playing style
Endrick is a left-footed, high shot-volume forward rather than an efficient one, comfortable as a central striker, second striker, or right winger who tucks inside.[18](https://www.squawka.com/en/features/tactical-analysis-endrick-amazing-start-lyon-no-surprise-miserable-real-madrid-stint-2026/) Scouting of his Palmeiras years described a small, very quick striker who plays off the shoulder of the last defender, with a strong first touch in tight spaces, powerful and accurate shooting, and the ability to sustain his top speed over long distances when running in behind.[8](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/endrick-at-palmeiras-2022-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics) He has said that the number nine shirt and central play suit him best, but that he wants to play regardless of position.[19](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/person/player/my-favourite-shirt-is-the-number-nine-and-playing-centrally-is-where-i-feel-the-most-comfortable-but-i-just-want-to-play-no-matter-how-endrick-on-where-he-fits-into-real-madrids-frontline)
