In an impressive display, Palmeiras pulled off an imposing
4-2 over Barcelona SC on Wednesday, securing their place in the knockout phase of the 2023 Conmebol Libertadores.
. However, the achievement had an additional significance, as it triggered a contract clause for the young Brazilian talent, Endrick, in his contract with Real Madrid, much to the delight of Palmeiras.
Endrick’s crucial goal against the Ecuadorian side marked his fifth goal of the year, activating a clause that requires the Spanish giants to pay a further 2.5 million euros to his current club. It’s interesting to note that Real Madrid may have other financial obligations to Palmeiras before the player officially joins the team.
According to the terms of the contract, Palmeiras will receive a bonus of 2.5 million euros for each series of five goals scored by Endrick, until he reaches a total of 25 goals. With 16 goals already scored, the talented youngster is on the right track for Palmeiras to make substantial financial gains from his scoring prowess. The total value of Endrick’s contract, as reported by AS, could reach 72 million euros, including all additional clauses and add-ons.
After a period in which he spent most of his time on the bench, Endrick expressed his joy at returning to Allianz Parque. Speaking to the press after the game, he highlighted the team’s consistency and meticulous preparation, which was evident in their solid and determined performance.
While Real Madrid eagerly await his arrival, Endrick remains focused on the ongoing competition, ready to embrace the challenges that lie ahead. The prospect of his move to Real Madrid will come in due course, but for now his immediate focus remains on Palmeiras’ continued success in the tournament.
