Real Madrid’s newest signing, Endrick, is set to wear the no. 16 shirt for the club next season, according to reports from AS.
This development comes after Kylian Mbappe took the no. 9 shirt, which Endrick was initially expected to wear.
The Brazilian teenager, who will be unveiled on Saturday, has a history with the no. 16 shirt. He wore it when he made his senior debut with Palmeiras at just 16 years old, before switching to his preferred no. 9.
Endrick’s career with Real Madrid will begin in a similar fashion, with the no. 16 shirt set to be his number for the upcoming season. The highly-anticipated unveiling of Endrick is scheduled for Saturday, marking the official beginning of his journey with the Spanish giants.
