Real Madrid have agreed a deal worth a staggering €72 million for the teenager.
Madrid supporters will then have to wait until June 2024 to see him in Madrid colours.
Los Blancos have been so eager to get him, they are willing to pay nearly two years in advance to secure his signature now.
Endrick was given his first chance at first-team football this season and played a part in Palmeiras’ title-winning campaign.
He netted three goals and got one assist in just seven appearances for the Brazilian giants.
