Real Madrid’s acquisition of young Brazilian talent Endrick is proving to be a significant financial commitment, with the potential total cost rising to €72 million.
Despite limited playing time in the current 2024-25 season, Endrick has already made an impact by scoring two goals.
Originally, the transfer fee was set at €60 million, consisting of a base payment of €35 million plus an additional €25 million tied to performance incentives.
Recent comments from the Palmeiras youth director suggest that Endrick’s future success on the field could increase this figure even further.
According to reports, Real Madrid will incur additional costs for each milestone Endrick achieves. For instance, the club will owe €1.5 million for every five goals he scores, alongside bonuses linked to assists and other performance metrics. His recent selection for the Brazilian national team triggered an additional €1.5 million payment to Palmeiras.
If all performance-related conditions are met, Real Madrid could end up spending an astonishing €72 million on Endrick. While he may start on the bench in the upcoming match against Alaves, coach Carlo Ancelotti plans to rotate the squad, offering Endrick opportunities to showcase his abilities.
Although his playing time has been limited, Endrick’s role within the team is seen as vital. His development and contributions will be closely monitored as he seeks to fulfill the high expectations placed upon him, reflecting the club’s belief in his potential to become a key player in the future.
