Real Madrid‘s young forward Endrick is reportedly open to a loan move in January, as he seeks more playing time. Sources indicate that the 19-year-old Brazilian, who has yet to feature in LaLiga this season, is exploring options to enhance his development. After a frustrating experience on the sidelines, particularly during a recent match against Getafe, where he was visibly upset after not being called upon, the prospect of a loan has gained traction.
Endrick joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras in 2022 for a record-breaking fee of €72 million, making it the largest transfer in Brazilian football history. However, since signing a six-year contract and arriving at the club, he has struggled to secure significant playing time. In his debut season (2024-25), he managed only 354 minutes in LaLiga, scoring once, while finding the net five times in the Copa del Rey. His situation worsened after suffering a hamstring injury in May and subsequently relapsing over the summer, which kept him out of critical matches including the Club World Cup.
Frustration Mounts for Endrick
Endrick’s lack of involvement has been a point of concern for both him and his representatives. The young talent trained diligently to recover from his injuries but found himself unused as coach Xabi Alonso opted for other attacking options during matches. This was particularly evident during the game against Getafe, where Endrick warmed up but was ultimately passed over for substitutes Brahim Díaz and Gonzalo García. According to sources, this incident was a turning point that prompted discussions about a potential loan.
Interest from European Clubs
As Endrick contemplates his future, several European clubs are reportedly monitoring his situation closely. Teams such as Marseille have expressed interest in securing his services on loan come January. Real Madrid had initially been hesitant to consider a loan move earlier this year; however, with Endrick’s current lack of game time becoming increasingly problematic for his growth, they may be willing to facilitate a temporary exit.
The upcoming transfer window presents an opportunity for Endrick to gain valuable experience and playing time that could aid his development as he continues to adapt to European football. With the pressure mounting at the Bernabéu and questions surrounding his immediate future, will we see Endrick make a move away from Madrid this winter?
