Inside Real Madrid wonderkid Endrick’s relationship contract with special ‘I love you’ clause
LOVE is in the flair for anyone who has seen Real Madrid’s exciting, incoming whizkid Endrick.
But it’s also on paper with his girlfriend Gabriely Miranda – thanks to the couple agreeing an unusual relationship contract.
Palmeiras hotshot Endrick, 17, and 21-year-old model Gabriely must tell each other “I love you” in all situations.
Yet other clauses in the deal sound even more intriguing.
The four-cap Brazilian will arrive at Real this summer for £52million.
But negotiations over that massive move were surely more conventional than his agreement with Gabriely.
The couple have banned “drastic changes of action” between them as well as the use of certain words.
However, many far older couples might be impressed with a more serious feature of the contract.
Endrick and Gabriely are not allowed to form any sort of addiction.
The striker revealed the couple’s love deal on the ‘Pod Delas’ podcast.
And after a challenging childhood, he is determined to resist temptation – not just because he hates partying.
He told CazeTV: “I don’t want to drink because unfortunately with the things I’ve experienced in my family, I know that alcohol is not for me.
“Going out to buy clothes is. My parents control me if I spend too much, especially on video games.”
Endrick, who has a brother and two sisters, was just 11 when his dad left the family to play lower-level professional football.
The starlet’s mum was without a home and a job, so Endrick and his siblings lived in an orphanage until their father returned six months later.
Endrick’s parents then reportedly worked at an underground train station cafe before Palmeiras hired his dad as a janitor.
But the club’s manager Abel Ferreira has expressed concern over whether his Brazilian top-flight team’s greatest talent can shrug off all the hype and media attention.
Ferreira said: “I hope he [Endrick] stays focused on football and doesn’t get distracted by other things.”
Bearing that fear in mind, maybe a relationship contract is Endrick and Gabriely’s way of helping to stay on the right track.
