With his arrival, Endrick completes his pre-planned move from Palmeiras. But considering all of the excitement that has been surrounding the Brazilian striker for months on end, even at the age of 18, he is a very well-known figure. Additionally, he might find it difficult to live up to that, particularly following a disappointing Copa America and up against some of the world’s top attacking players.
With Madrid putting a serious bullseye on their back both domestically and internationally, Carlo Ancelotti will know precisely how to adjust his team to get the most out of it. These four up-and-coming young talents could be essential to that.
After enduring painful injury setbacks, Arda Guler scored five goals in five La Liga games in April and May of last season, giving Madrid supporters their first taste of what the player is capable of. Although the 19-year-old’s primary position was winger, he is versatile enough to play almost anywhere in the attacking third of the field.
Guler, who was acquired for €20 million from Fenerbahce in the summer, went on to have an incredible Euro 2024 campaign with Turkey and is now ready for his official Real Madrid debut. Ancelotti’s biggest difficulty as a manager is the positive kind: how to fit Guler into the same attack or midfield lineup as players like Endrick Rowe, Kylian Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Kylian Mbappe?
Nico Paz, who is currently 19 years old and on the outside of the first squad, traveled from Tenerife to the Spanish peninsula at the age of 12 to join Madrid’s youth levels. Although he can play on the flanks, the Argentina Under-20 international is most effective when used in the middle as an offensive midfielder or center forward.
