Despite his young age, Endrick has already made waves in the football world, catching the eye of Real Madrid's board with his stellar performances, including a memorable goal against Spain at the Santiago Bernabeu, his future home.
Due to FIFA regulations, Endrick cannot officially join Real Madrid until he turns 18 on July 21. But if Brazil progresses to the semi-finals and subsequently to the final of the 2024 Copa America, which is slated for July 14, then he would have little time for recess.

They put out a statement that read: "All available Real Madrid players will participate in the Soccer Champions Tour 2024, except those who play in the semifinals of the Euro Cup or the Copa América."
