Endrick in the spotlight: European teams eye Real Madrid forward

Endrick in the sights of European clubs: Goodbye to Real Madrid?

Several major European clubs, including Olympique de Marseille, are closely monitoring Endrick’s situation at Real Madrid, with the intention of submitting an offer for the player in the January transfer market. This is reported by sources close to the club. Endrick, 19 years old, has not yet debuted in LaLiga this season. He suffered a hamstring injury in May, which ruled him out of the Club World Cup, and then had another setback in July. In the 2024-25 season, his debut at Madrid, the Brazilian forward scored seven goals in all competitions. Despite the competition for minutes with the club’s star revelation, Gonzalo García, Endrick chose to stay with the team during the summer. Sources close to the club indicate that several teams are closely monitoring Endrick’s situation under the direction of coach Xabi Alonso, and Real Madrid is expected to receive offers for the player in January.

However, sources say that Endrick and his entourage are not considering a departure, preferring to wait and assess his role in the Madrid team as he regains his physical form after the international break. The player is confident of having participation. Endrick is the only outfield player for Madrid who hasn’t played since Alonso took over in the summer. His last match was with the previous coach, Carlo Ancelotti, in the 2-0 victory over Sevilla on May 18. Last season, with Ancelotti, Endrick’s opportunities were also limited, playing 354 minutes in LaLiga and 134 minutes in the Champions League, but he still managed to score seven goals, five of them in the Copa del Rey. Madrid now faces a complicated schedule, starting with Getafe on Saturday, Juventus next Wednesday, and then El Clásico against Barcelona on Sunday, October 26, with Liverpool and Manchester City to come in the Champions League before Christmas. The starting center forward for Madrid, Kylian Mbappé, has scored 14 goals for his club in all competitions so far this season, while his substitute, García, has participated in six matches without scoring.

Endrick has been training well for three weeks. He scores goals. He doesn’t need many opportunities to shoot, and he’s a fantastic finisher. There’s a lot of competition in his position, but his time will come.
