The teenager was seen in tears as he was welcomed by Real fans at the Bernabeu, which he later discussed in a press conference.
"I hadn't planned it, I've loved Real Madrid since I was a child," he said, according to Managing Madrid.
"Cristiano Ronaldo came into my life. It was because of him that I came to Madrid in his day!
"A year ago, I looked for all the idols, also [Emilio] Butragueno. I've been in love with this club since I was a kid and to be here is amazing.
"I didn't want to cry, but it came from my soul."
Endrick scored 21 goals and assisted four more strikes in 82 appearances for his former side, while he has already struck three times for Brazil's senior team.
