Brazil World Cup winner Branco has no doubts about the future of Real Madrid striker Endrick.

Currently playing on-loan with Palmeiras, Endrick will join Real Madrid when he turns 18 in two years' time.

Branco is now youth chief for the Brazilian Federation and told AS: "Magnificent. He is an exceptional player and a pure goalscorer, with a lot of class.

"He could be a world figure like Vinicius or Rodrygo are now or even like Neymar when he left Santos or Ronaldo when he left Cruzeiro.

"He's like Romario. His biotype is very similar. He is strong, short, fast, is always well positioned and has a great eye for goals, qualities that made Romario great. He is a guy very similar to O Baixinho. Endrick has many virtues to be able to succeed in football.

"He is a humble boy, with a well furnished head."
