Speaking in an exclusive interview with TNT Sports Brazil, future Real Madrid player Endrick has welcomed the possibility of PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe joining him at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid signed Endrick in December last year, shelling out a fee of €35 million plus €25 million in variables for the Palmeiras wonderkid.
As he was still 16 at the time, Endrick has stayed in Brazil and will only be joining the Merengues in the summer of 2024.
And the Brazilian prodigy’s arrival could coincide with long-term Real Madrid transfer target Kylian Mbappe.
The PSG superstar is in the final year of his contract at Parc des Princes and has shown no indication of wanting to renew despite the club’s attempts.
A move could have taken place this past summer itself but the Frenchman ended up staying in France for another season.
Amidst the growing possibility of Mbappe joining Real Madrid next summer, Endrick welcomed the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner’s arrival, saying:
“I’m a Real Madrid fan, so the more good players there are, the better. It would be great if he came.”

This is not the first time Endrick has spoken about Mbappe to Real Madrid, having previously expressed his desire to play with the Frenchman and Vinicius Jr.
“He’s a cracking player, a cut above the rest. He’s decisive, spectacular, super-fast and he dribbles better now,” Endrick said.
“Playing with both Vinicius and Mbappé would be wonderful. They’re both spectacular and I’d be really happy to play with such great players.”
Real Madrid wish to secure a pre-contract agreement with Mbappe in January next year so that he can join the club as a free agent in the summer.
In case that is not possible, the Merengues have identified alternatives such as Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez of Manchester City.
