Endrick says he feels ready to join Real Madrid.

The Palmeiras striker will join Real when he turns 18 at the end of the season.

He told Marca: "It will be a lot of responsibility, a great challenge. I am very excited to play with that shirt and be able to enjoy it with the fans. It is a dream that I have had since I was little, to be part of Real Madrid.

"I know that I still have challenges ahead of me at Palmeiras and I have to meet them or at least help my team to be at the top, but of course I am also thinking about Real Madrid.

"I hope to have a brilliant career there, in a great, impressive stadium. It's a dream since I was a child. All the children have it, many soccer stars have played there. I went to a game a while ago and I was able to experience the atmosphere, the fans... It will make me very happy to play there.

"Things have happened very quickly in my life and I have made many dreams come true. I thank my family, my agents and Palmeiras, who have trusted me since I was very little. At one point I lowered my head because I wasn't playing, I respected the coach's decision and continued working while waiting for the opportunity that ended up arriving"
