Brazil forward Endrick is still months away from his big-money Real Madrid move, but details of the teenager's personal life have come to light.
Endrick and girlfriend Gabriely Miranda have a 'relationship contract', with the pair bound to tell each other "I love you" in all situations. The footballer, 17, has shed light on his relationship with the 21-year-old model in an interview with media in his native Brazil.
The Palmeiras teenager is due to move to the Bernabeu in the summer, when he turns 18. He has already been making a big splash for club and country, though, scoring the winner in Brazil's friendly against England in March.
He is part of a growing number of young talents flocking to the Spanish capital as Carlo Ancelotti's side look to welcome through a new generation to take over from the stars who won the Champions League five times between 2014 and 2022. And he has spoken candidly about his personal life ahead of the move.
Endrick opened up on his relationship in a conversation with the Pod Delas podcast (via The Sun). Under the terms of the agreement, neither is allowed to form any kind of addiction.
As well as the "I love you" clause, the pair are forbidden from using certain words. "Drastic changes of action" are also said to be off the table.
The news comes after Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira offered words of advice for the teenager. “I hope he doesn’t get lost with things beyond football," the boss told reporters (via Football Espana). "Let him concentrate. If you want to reach higher levels, you have to focus on what is essential,”
Endrick might have found himself in the Premier League, with Chelsea among the clubs interested. Instead, though, he will join compatriots including Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in Madrid.
He will join off the back of a breakout 2023 season with Palmeiras, scoring 11 times in Brazil's Serie A. He also scored his first Copa Libertadores goal in June 2023, netting in a 4-2 victory over Ecuadorean side Barcelona.
The wonderkid has already played at the Bernabeu, scoring in a 3-3 draw between Brazil and Spain on March 26. That was his second senior international goal after he came off the bench to bag the winner against England just three days earlier.
“His speed and strength to take the ball forward reminds me of Ronaldo [Nazario]," international team-mate Lucas Paqueta said. "Of course, he is just a boy and is very young and will grow a lot. I am not comparing, of course, but there are some characteristics that remind me of him. He can develop to be a huge player.”

You are 17 everyone blowing sunshine up your arse and a smoking hot 21 year old bangs you senseless. He needs a mentor someone to show him where this is headed. But he is 17 and we all think we have it all figured out at that age.

This boy is already focusing on something that is not so essential to reaching great heights. At 16/17 where would come up with this deviated ideia of contract? Hopefully not a Robinho 2.0!

be careful with women. many a footballer have fallen by the wayside. Your money can be chopped and thereafter get dumped.

Madrid without Mbappe even looks pure class. Europe is not ready for Endrik's fake runs and finishing power.
