Endrick prefers to stay at Real Madrid: Loan or starting position?

Real Madrid Considers Loaning Endrick

Real Madrid is evaluating the possibility of loaning Endrick to another team to ensure his football development. Despite this, the priority of the young Brazilian forward is to stay at the Santiago Bernabéu, following in the footsteps of Vinícius Júnior. The merengue club invested 72 million euros in Endrick in 2022, when the player was still 16 years old. This strategy is similar to the one applied with other Brazilian stars like Vinícius and Rodrygo. Endrick joined Madrid last summer after turning 18, but his participation was limited to 847 minutes under the direction of Carlo Ancelotti. Despite this, he demonstrated his goal-scoring ability in the Copa del Rey, scoring five goals in six matches.

• Vinícius Júnior built his own theme park to celebrate his 25th birthday.
• How will Madrid face the absence of Jude Bellingham?

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti still has Endrick in his plans for the 2026 World Cup. However, he also believes that the 19-year-old striker could benefit from having more minutes at another club. After meetings between the board and the coaching staff, Madrid believes that the best option for Endrick would be to be loaned to a LaLiga team, where he could have more playing opportunities and adapt to Spanish football. Despite the arrival of Xabi Alonso, Endrick’s situation does not seem to have changed. The club values the player’s potential, but considers that Gonzalo García has a more suitable profile for the current moment.

Endrick joined Real Madrid last summer after turning 18. Endrick’s future is uncertain, but Madrid’s willingness to loan him out doesn’t necessarily mean he will definitively leave the club in the next summer transfer window. The player maintains the desire to stay on the team. Endrick’s environment points out that young players on loan, such as Reinier and Luka Jovic, were not successful, while those who stayed, like Vinícius and Arda Güler, now have a place in the team.

It is recognized that Endrick’s injury and the formation used by Alonso do not favor the Brazilian. The coach has opted for an attack with Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. as the only forwards, and the player’s environment believes that he could have more space in a scheme with three forwards. In this context, Endrick continues to recover and hopes that, upon his return in September, he can convince Alonso that he deserves a place in the team. A key factor in Endrick’s final decision could be the upcoming 2026 World Cup. Another element to consider is Rodrygo’s future. Alonso, as seen in the Club World Cup, has the idea of playing with Vinícius and Mbappé up front, so he would need another forward alongside Gonzalo to cover the absences of the two starters. The official version is that Rodrygo wants to stay at Madrid and Madrid wants Rodrygo to stay, but some sources suggest that his future is still up in the air.
