Endrick Felipe has surprised the world of football with an unexpected confession that has generated a stir both in Spain and in Brazil. The young striker, considered one of the most promising talents of world football, broke into tears during a recent interview in which he confessed that his decision to sign for Real Madrid could have been the greatest error of his professional career.
With only 18 years, Endrick was hired by the White Club with great expectations, being presented as the new Brazilian jewel that would follow the footsteps of legends such as Ronaldo Nazário or Vinícius Jr. However, the young attacker has revealed that his heart was always with FC Barcelona since childhood. “As a child, I always dreamed of dressing Barça’s shirt. I looked at Messi, Xavi and Iniesta’s games, and I imagined playing at Camp Nou. Signing for Madrid was a decision influenced by other factors, but not for what I really felt,” he said in tears.
Endrick expressed his desire to reverse his situation as soon as possible. According to him, his intention is to leave Real Madrid as soon as possible, he even mentioned his willingness to join Barcelona in the next season. “I want to play for the team that I always took in my heart. I hope you can one day dress in Barça and show that I can succeed where I always dreamed,” added the striker.
Endrick’s statement not only surprised Real Madrid’s followers, but also lit social networks, where Culés fans began fantasizing with the possible arrival of the young crack. However, the illusion faded quickly when the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, was consulted in this regard and responded coldly: “We appreciate his words, but at this time we do not contemplate his signing. Barça needs committed players from the first moment, not repentant.”
Laporta’s words were a jug of cold water for Endrick, who, according to nearby sources, would have felt “devastated” after listening to the overwhelming response of the top culé leader. Some Spanish football analysts believe that the young man’s statements could bring consequences within the merengue wardrobe, affecting their adaptation process and their relationship with the directive.
Meanwhile, in Madrid, the media have begun to question the emotional stability of the player and the management of their surroundings. The truth is that this episode has opened a new chapter in the history of media signings, in which personal feelings and sports decisions can come into conflict, especially when it comes to players so young and even in training.
