Endrick’s Real Madrid shirt number revealed amid Kylian Mbappe confusion

According to reports, La Liga giants Real Madrid initially wanted to present Endrick with the shirt number 9. However, that plan was taken off the board, and a new shirt number for the Brazilian has been revealed by Los Blancos.

The youngster from Brazil has been announced as a Real Madrid player on Saturday, July 27, 2024. It comes after waiting for a period of about one and a half years as they had to wait for him to turn 18-years-old, so as to become eligible to represent the Spanish club.

What is Endrick’s Real Madrid shirt number?

Real Madrid’s initial plan of handing out the number nine shirt to Endrick was reportedly stalled after Kylian Mbappe was given that number in his recent announcement as Los Blancos player held in an unveiling at the Santiago Bernabeu after he signed with them as a free agent from PSG. It has now been confirmed that Endrick will don the jersey number 16 for the European giants whenever he takes the field for them.

The 18-year-old did wear the number 16 shirt during his initial time at Palmeiras before getting the prestigious number nine shirt there, and his Los Blancos career is following the same pattern. It remains to be seen how the Brazilian superstar copes with all the expectations at such a young age when he wears Real Madrid’s colors.
