Endrick Felipe Moreira De Sousa

Endrick grew up focusing entirely on his footballing development. He joined the Palmeiras youth academy at the age of 11, where his staggering goalscoring records in the youth categories quickly made him a viral sensation.

He prioritized his athletic training over traditional higher education, rapidly accelerating through the ranks to make his senior professional debut at just 16 years old.

Endrick's professional career began at Palmeiras, where he made history as the club's youngest-ever debutant and goalscorer. His powerful left foot and incredible maturity helped Palmeiras secure back-to-back Campeonato Brasileiro Série A titles in 2022 and 2023, as well as multiple Paulista A1 championships and the Supercopa do Brasil. His sensational form prompted Real Madrid to secure his signature in a massive transfer deal, though he had to wait until his 18th birthday in July 2024 to officially join the Spanish giants.

Arriving in Madrid, Endrick faced intense competition for places in the starting XI alongside established superstars. While he showed flashes of his brilliance, his playing time was limited during his initial 18 months in Spain. Recognizing the need for regular competitive minutes, Real Madrid agreed to send him on loan to French club Olympique Lyonnais in January 2026.

His move to Ligue 1 proved highly beneficial. During the second half of the 2025-2026 season with Lyon, Endrick found his rhythm, contributing 5 goals and 7 assists in 15 appearances. His standout performances included a crucial goal and assist in a victory over Paris Saint-Germain and consistent, highly-rated displays that helped stabilize Lyon's attacking output.

Internationally, Endrick has been a feature for the Brazilian national team, participating in major tournaments like the Copa America and World Cup qualifiers. As his loan spell in France concludes in mid-2026, he is poised to return to Real Madrid as a more experienced and refined forward, ready to challenge for a permanent spot in their attacking lineup.

Endrick was born in Taguatinga, Federal District, and raised in a family that heavily supported his footballing dreams despite financial hardships. His father, Douglas Sousa, famously published his son's highlight videos on YouTube, which eventually caught the attention of major Brazilian clubs, leading to his enrollment at Palmeiras.

In late 2024, Endrick made headlines off the pitch when he married his partner, model and influencer Gabriely Miranda. The couple frequently shares glimpses of their supportive relationship on social media. Despite his immense global fame and massive sponsorship deals with brands like New Balance, Endrick is known for his disciplined lifestyle and strict focus on his physical conditioning.

He is represented by Roc Nation Sports, the agency founded by Jay-Z, highlighting his status as a global sports icon. He currently resides in France during his loan spell but maintains strong ties to his family and his roots in Brazil.
