However, he acknowledges the importance of guidance from his seasoned teammates.
When asked about his relationship with his new teammates, the teenage sensation expressed his willingness to learn from the experienced players.
He specifically mentioned his eagerness to study under compatriot Vinicius, Frenchman Mbappe, and Modric, who will take on a leadership role following Nacho Fernandez's departure.
“I will listen to all advice from my teammates. Modric, Vini, Mbappe," the youngster told the press, as quoted by MadridXtra.
"I’m here to learn,” he concluded.
According to ESPN, Endrick made his debut for Palmeiras' first team in October 2022 at the age of 16 years, two months, and 16 days, making him the youngest player in the club's history.
He then became the second-youngest goal scorer in Brazil's top flight, playing a key role in Palmeiras' league title win in 2022.
