Endrick’s difficult start at Real Madrid continues, with the young Brazilian yet to make an appearance this season despite recovering from injury. Expected to thrive under Xabi Alonso’s youth-driven system, he now looks set for a temporary exit. According to Fabrizio Romano, Endrick has decided to leave on loan in January after realising he isn’t part of Alonso’s current plans. However, he remains committed to Real Madrid long term and will reject any permanent transfer offers.
Several European clubs have already shown interest in taking him on loan. The main reason behind his decision is the 2026 World Cup — Endrick wants regular playing time to boost his chances of making Brazil’s squad. A loan move in January could provide the minutes he needs to continue his development and stay in contention for international selection.
