‘Nervous’ Endrick sent ‘calmer’ advice after €35m Real Madrid transfer – with Brazilian wonderkid failing to make an impact in friendly Clasico clash with Barcelona

LaLiga

Real Madrid

The Brazilian wonderkid is considered to be the hottest of prospects and has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-cristiano-ronaldo-role-endrick-real-madrid-presentation-tears-teenage-brazilian-wonderkid-footsteps-idol/blt33b809320ee58df7" target="_blank">completed a €35 million (£30m/$38m) switch to Santiago Bernabeu</a> after celebrating his 18th birthday. A <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-plans-brazilian-wonderkid-endrick-palmeiras-loan-transfer/blt0c4f40c72d0338a1" target="_blank">loan move has been ruled out for the youngster</a>, with the plan being to give him plenty of game time in 2024-25.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Endrick is being eased into the Blancos fold by Carlo Ancelotti but has made little impact through early outings, including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/hansi-flick-and-la-masia-kids-are-having-fun-winners-losers-barcelona-edge-real-madrid-tense-preseason-clasico/blt2a19cb3236b323fd" target="_blank">a 2-1 friendly defeat to Barca in the United States</a>. Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois told reporters after that contest: “Endrick has a lot of strength, a lot of power. And maybe he needs to be a little calmer. I'm not saying he's nervous, but it's normal that you're playing with Madrid in big games and you get a little more nervous. But you can see in training that he scores a lot of goals and has a lot of strength.”

WHAT COURTOIS SAID

Arda Guler, fresh from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arda-guler-enters-elite-euros-club-alongside-cristiano-ronaldo-wayne-rooney-inspiring-turkey-last-16-victory-austria/blt58e0f334246f8b8f" target="_blank">starring for Turkey at Euro 2024</a>, is another exciting starlet on Real’s books. Courtois added on the 19-year-old playmaker, who is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arda-guler-too-good-bench-real-madrid-fit-turkish-messi-kylian-mbappe-led-attack/blte63423e4b7a40f53" target="_blank">preparing for his second season in Spain</a>: “He's a different Arda compared to last year. After his knee injury, he's worked hard in the gym and you can see that he's a different guy physically. He's good at attacking, he's good at passing. We have a lot of good players and they're going to fight for positions and that's what helps Madrid to be Madrid and win trophies.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Alongside Endrick, Real have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-poses-real-madrid-iconic-no-9-shirt-first-time-florentino-perez-officially-completing-transfer/blt4c28dde3fab60c3f" target="_blank">added World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe to their ranks</a> this summer. He joins an attacking unit that also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/better-msn-kylian-mbappe-real-madrid-attack-rival-legendary-barcelona-lionel-messi-luis-suarez-neymar-vinicius-jr-rodrygo/blt7f88f7d79430d778" target="_blank">includes Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and England international superstar Jude Bellingham</a>.
