Real Madrid: Endrick already thinking about leaving this winter

This summer, Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) joined Real Madrid. Almost all the spotlights are on the Frenchman and the new trio he forms with Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. Rodrygo, for his part, is left aside by the media while the Bondynois occupies the media space. With all that, we could almost forget that the young Endrick has also settled in the Spanish capital. Recruited in the winter of 2022 by the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium, the former Palmeiras player finished his training in the country before flying to Europe when he came of age. Considered a great hope for Auriverde football, the 18-year-old player has embarked on a new adventure.

Presented to the press on July 27, he then took part in the tour of the United States. Used for the first time on July 31 during the friendly match against AC Milan, he did not necessarily shine. He touched the ball 13 times and did not attempt a single shot in 45 minutes. In the eleven during the Clasico against FC Barcelona, ​​Endrick once again disappointed the Iberian media, who did not hesitate to tackle him. However, he logically needs time to find his marks and find his place among all the Madrid stars. AS explained on Monday that he, like Real Madrid, knew that his debut would not be easy since the competition is fierce within the Casa Blanca.

Endrick does not rule out a loan this winter if he does not play enough

Although he is a pure No. 9, Endrick must be patient. But he will not be indefinitely. Thus, AS reveals that he has already established a clear and precise battle plan. If he plays little during the first part of the season, he does not rule out leaving on loan in order to gain playing time and experience in Europe. An initial assessment will therefore be made around Christmas. The idea is that he can continue to progress at club level, but also that he continues to be called up to the Brazilian national team. A point to which his team is paying close attention, especially since the centre-forward has the 2026 World Cup in the back of his mind.

If he were to stay this winter and finish the season in Madrid, a new assessment would be made next summer. Endrick, who has certainly followed closely the treatment reserved by Barça for his compatriot Vitor Roque, does not want to live the same situation. He hopes instead to follow in the footsteps of Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo, who arrived at about the same age at the Merengues. Since then, they have made a place of choice for themselves within the Spanish team. Their compatriot intends to imitate them, he who aims to make a place for himself as quickly as possible. But he therefore already has a plan B in mind. Real Madrid knows what to expect.
