Married at 18. A €60 million transfer before he could legally order a beer in Spain. And, at 20 years old, a fortune that financial trackers put at roughly $15 million. If you searched for endrick net worth salary 2026, here’s the full picture — where the money comes from, what his Real Madrid contract actually pays, and why, right now, one of football’s richest teenagers can barely get on the pitch.
Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa was born on 21 July 2006 in Taguatinga, a satellite city on the outskirts of Brasília. He turned 20 this July. Most footballers his age are still trying to break into a first team. Endrick has already signed a six-year deal with Real Madrid, played for Brazil at Wembley, got married — and become a case study in how much money a teenager can make before he even becomes a regular starter.
The kid from Taguatinga who scored 165 goals before he could vote
Endrick’s father, Douglas de Sousa Silva Ramos, was a lower-league footballer who never made it big. He did something smart instead: he filmed his son. Endless home-made highlight videos went up on YouTube, and Palmeiras scouts took the bait. The numbers explained the hype — 165 goals in 169 academy games, a record that still gets quoted every time someone writes about him. At 15, he was winning the Copinha with Palmeiras’ U-20s. He made his senior debut on 6 October 2022 at 16, and a month later he was Palmeiras’ youngest-ever league goalscorer at 16 years and 2 months. The 2023 season turned him from a prospect into a headline: 11 league goals in 31 appearances, two Brazilian Série A titles already on his shelf, and every big club in Europe on the phone.
A €60 million deal agreed when he was 16
Real Madrid moved first. On 15 December 2022 — when Endrick was 16 — the club announced an agreement with Palmeiras: €35 million guaranteed, up to €12.5 million more in bonuses tied to his Palmeiras career, and another €12.5 million tied to his Madrid career. Total potential outlay: roughly €60 million, making him one of the most expensive teenagers in football history. (Transfermarkt’s own valuation of the transfer, bonuses included, comes in around €47.5 million.)
He couldn’t actually move until his 18th birthday — FIFA rules on international transfers of minors — so he officially became a Madrid player on 21 July 2024. The contract runs until 30 June 2030, six years, and the release clause sits somewhere in the €600 million to €1 billion range depending on which tracker you believe.
His debut season was a montage of moments rather than minutes: 37 appearances, mostly off the bench, 7 goals — including one on his competitive debut against Real Valladolid with four minutes left, and a long-range rocket against Atlético Madrid in the derby that briefly made the Bernabéu forget his age. If you watched him that season, the flashes were impossible to miss. The minutes weren’t.
€80,000 a week: what Endrick actually earns
Let’s talk numbers. Capology’s salary database puts Endrick’s gross base salary at €4.16 million a year — about €80,000 a week — for the 2025/26 season. Italian outlets, citing Calcio Mercato, put his take-home closer to €2.5 million net a year. American outlets round it up to roughly $92,000 a week. They’re all describing the same deal from different angles: gross vs net, euros vs dollars.
Either way, he’s on a six-year package worth roughly €24.96 million in base salary alone, before bonuses and image rights. It’s a fortune for a 20-year-old. It’s also pocket change next to Kylian Mbappé‘s Madrid wages — which is exactly how the club structured it.
When Madrid sent him to Lyon on a six-month loan in January 2026 (ESPN confirmed the move in December 2025, with Lyon paying a fee of up to €1 million), the two clubs split his wages. And the loan worked: he scored on his Coupe de France debut and finished with 8 goals and 7 assists in 21 appearances across the 2025/26 season, per Football Whispers — the kind of return that rebuilt his market value after a quiet spell in Spain. Transfermarkt had him at €25 million in early 2026; by May he was being quoted back up around €35 million.
Why he turned down Nike, Adidas and Puma
The biggest off-pitch bet of Endrick’s career didn’t involve a club. In late 2023, he signed with New Balance — turning down Nike, Adidas and Puma in the process. Spanish paper Diario AS called it a “Michael Jordan-style” deal: not just boots, but a signature boot line and long-term co-branding campaigns through 2028. New Balance reportedly offered him the kind of personal-brand investment the giants wouldn’t give a teenager. He’d worn Nike during his Palmeiras years. He walked away from them anyway.
The rest of the portfolio filled in fast: a Red Bull deal in August 2024, a Disney+ partnership, and Odontocompany in the Brazilian market. His commercial strategy is run by Roc Nation Sports, the agency co-founded by Jay-Z. For a player who was 17 when he signed the New Balance deal, the commercial instincts are as sharp as the finishing.
Married at 18: the Gabriely Miranda story
Off the pitch, Endrick’s personal life has been tabloid material since before he left Brazil. He’s married to Gabriely Miranda, a Brazilian model and content creator six years his senior. They reportedly met after she appeared in a post-match interview — the video of Endrick noticing her went viral in Brazil — and had been dating since late 2023.
The civil ceremony was private, in Madrid, on 16 September 2024. He was 18. They held a small public ceremony with family and friends in July 2025, and when divorce rumours started circulating online in early 2026, Endrick killed them himself, calling the reports “fake news”. The couple have even talked publicly about their relationship rules — including ones about Instagram, arguments, and how they handle disagreements. Teenage marriage, conducted in public.
October 2026: four minutes of football and Milan’s open door
Here’s where the story gets strange. After a productive half-season in Lyon, Endrick returned to Madrid for 2026/27 — and vanished. His entire season so far: four minutes, as a substitute against Elche on 15 September. José Mourinho blocked a summer loan (“Endrick is not going anywhere,” he said), then barely used him. Behind Vinícius Júnior, Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and a queue of attackers, the €60 million teenager can’t get a game.
So in October, the rumour mill started turning for real. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on 8 October that Endrick has privately told AC Milan they’d be his first choice if he leaves Madrid in the January window — with Roma and Aston Villa also circling. Any deal would be a loan only; Madrid aren’t attaching a purchase option to a contract that runs to 2030. For a player who needs minutes to protect his Brazil place — he scored at Wembley within his first three caps back in 2024, and had 14 caps and 3 goals going into this year — January looks less like a choice and more like a necessity.
Trophies, at least, have kept coming: a Copa del Rey medal, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup are all in his cabinet before his 21st birthday.
So where does the $15 million stand?
Add it up: the Madrid salary (€4.16 million a year gross), the Lyon half-season, the New Balance cornerstone deal through 2028, Red Bull and Disney+ on top — and you land where every financial tracker lands. Endrick’s net worth in 2026 is estimated at around $15 million (about €13.9 million), per outlets including Surprise Sports, Sportsdunia, InfoTech Sports and The Bruins Blog, all working from the same public salary and sponsorship data. It’s an estimate, not an audit — but the fact that five independent trackers converge on the same number tells you something.
He did it without being a regular starter anywhere in Europe yet. That’s the remarkable part, and the risky part. A teenager with $15 million, a six-year Madrid contract, a marriage the internet watches like a soap opera — and four minutes of football since August. For comparison, Lamine Yamal is 18 and already undroppable.
What happens next is almost entirely about January. If Milan — or Roma, or Villa — get him on loan and he plays every week, the $15 million is a floor. If he spends another season as a four-minute cameo artist, even Roc Nation can’t sell that. The money’s already made. The footballer still has to arrive.
