After the Copa América, Endrick will join Real Madrid for the start of the new season. The biggest promise of Brazilian football in recent years was sold to the Spanish club for around 72 million euros. However, compared to Vitor Roque, another young Brazilian now at Barcelona, the former Palmeiras player has fewer goals and assists considering the period in which both were in Brazil.

Wearing the Palmeiras shirt, Endrick played in 82 matches, scored 21 goals and provided four assists. Vitor Roque at Athletico Paranaense played 81 games, scored 28 goals and contributed 11 assists. Therefore, at least in terms of numbers, the Barcelona player’s performance was better.
Meanwhile, Vitor Roque has been having difficulties in Spanish football. Last season, the Brazilian striker only played 353 minutes for Barcelona. With Xavi’s departure from Barça’s technical command and the hiring of Hansi Flick as the club’s new coach, Roque hopes to gain more chances in the Catalan team.
Endrick will only join Real Madrid after competing in the Copa América with the Brazilian team. At the Spanish club, the 17-year-old will have strong competition in attack. With the signing of Mbappé and Joselu’s good season, he may have few minutes in his first season in Madrid.
