Endrick: Several European clubs are stalking the Real Madrid forward

Endrick in the crosshairs: Rumors of leaving Real Madrid?

Several European clubs, including Olympique de Marseille, are keeping an eye on Endrick’s situation at Real Madrid, with the intention of submitting an offer for the player in January. This has been confirmed by sources close to the player. Endrick, 19, has yet to debut in LaLiga this season. He suffered a hamstring injury in May, ruling him out of the Club World Cup, and then another injury in July. In his debut season with Madrid, the Brazilian international scored seven goals in all competitions. Despite the competition for minutes, he decided to stay at the club during the summer. Sources close to the club indicate that several teams are monitoring Endrick’s situation under the direction of coach Xabi Alonso, anticipating possible offers for the player in the winter market.

However, Endrick and his entourage would not be 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 a relevant role. Endrick is the only outfield player at Madrid who has yet to participate since Alonso took over in the summer. His last match was under the direction of Carlo Ancelotti, in the 2-0 victory over Sevilla on May 18. Last season, 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 faces a series of challenging matches, starting with Getafe on Saturday, Juventus next Wednesday, and then El Clásico against Barcelona on Sunday, October 26, with Liverpool and Manchester City 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.

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