Cristiano Ronaldo is a Real Madrid icon of little comparison. Many fans believe that the likelihood of anyone replicating the form of their former talisman is little. It, however, looks like a new signing of Los Blancos has challenged this. Endrick, Madrid’s next big thing, is aiming to break the record of his Portuguese predecessor.
Since the previous January transfer window, Real Madrid fans have been excited about the prospect of getting to watch Endrick. According to the deal, he can only play from the next season.

The former Real Madrid star won 4 Champions League trophies in his career with the club. Challenging such a record indicates Endrick’s ambition. The 17-year-old already has the experience of winning trophies in Brazil. He has already won two league titles with Palmerias. After his league triumph, he also won two individual awards, winning the award for the best goal and also for the best young player in the league.

This is the reason Real Madrid has invested over $60 million in his signing. However, Endrick must be aware that he could face a more difficult challenge than Cristiano Ronaldo at the club.

Real Madrid also made a huge investment by signing Cristiano Ronaldo for a fee of over $100 million back in 2009 from Manchester United. Endrick has also come with a huge price tag like his idol. However, the biggest difference is the experience of playing in Europe. By the time, the 38-year-old signed for Los Blancos, he had experience of playing in the Premier League and Champions League with Manchester United, having won both.
There is no doubt that Endrick has high potential. However, he has not yet played a single game in the top European competitions. So, there is a possibility that the 17-year-old could take time to settle with the team.
