He really looks older, that's true but...
He became famous for discovering the talents of Kiko Casilla and Mariano Diaz. However, Manolo Romero, the former Real Madrid scout for the region of Catalonia, has long ceased to work for the Royals. And yet, he is relevant again because he casts doubt on the actual age of the Brazilian prodigy Endrick, who will become a Real Madrid as soon as he celebrates his 18th birthday.
Romero, on the other hand, suspects that Endrick's 18th birthday has already happened.
"I always had doubts about Endrick and whether those years are correct. Yes, because he is physically too fit. I always remember the anecdote about Radamel Falcao, who arrived in Europe older than everyone else thought he was," Romero said on 'El Bar show' on Cadena SER radio station.

• For reference valverde’s top speed is 36.3 km/h, vini’s is 35.4 km/h, Davies’s is 36.2 km/h.
• considering his very strong physique aswell as his age his speed is insane this guy is going right to the top. pic.twitter.com/Uhs2JxhlHQ
Now, as for Endrick, he was officially born on 21 July 2006, and Real Madrid signed him in 2022 as a 16-year-old. The Spaniards paid a fixed amount of €35m, and the total sum could grow to €60m. At least, that is the plan... if an investigation doesn't show that his age is actually what we're told.
