Endrick, a future member of the Real Madrid club, predicts that Vinicius Junior would one day surpass all other players in the globe.
The 22-year-old joined Real Madrid from Flamengo in a deal rumored to be worth €46 million, making him the most expensive export from Brazil's top flight in 2018.
Vinicius needed some time to adjust to his new environment because in his first 118 games for Los Blancos across all competitions, he only scored 14 goals. However, over the past few years, he has quickly become one of the best wingers in the world.
In fact, he helped Real Madrid win back La Liga from neighborhood rivals Atletico Madrid by scoring the game-winning goal against Liverpool in the 2022 UEFA Champions League final. He was also named the competition's best young player.
Most recently, he scored two goals at Anfield to help Real Madrid defeat Liverpool once more, this time in the Champions League round of 16. He also scored a brace against Al Hilal to help Real Madrid win the FIFA Club World Cup.
Endrick, who has already promised to join when he reaches 18, will join the dynamic Brazilian at the Bernabeu in July 2024, and the young prodigy has revealed just how talented he believes Vinicius will become in the future.
"I don't ever miss a game. I'm there constantly, watching Vini "crush" the opposition. Sadly, we lost against Villarreal, and Vinicius once again made the difference "TNT Sports was told by Endrick.
"It's great to watch Vinicius play. He constantly has a smile on his face when playing. Despite being provoked... I think Vini's critics are dumb since he plays even more that way the more sticks they give him.
"I think Vini will be the finest in the world, and I think Real Madrid will win the Champions League."
With a set €35 million cost anticipated to be topped off by €25 million in variable add-ons and bonuses, the agreement to bring Endrick to Real Madrid may end up surpassing the sum paid for Vinicius in 2018.
