The recent victory of Real Madrid over Getafe (0-1) has reignited the spirits of coach Xabi Alonso and his squad, who have reclaimed the top spot in La Liga. However, one notable absence continues to spark conversation: Brazilian forward Endrick.
Despite the team’s success, Endrick has struggled for playing time this season, leading to speculation about his future at the club. Prior to the match against Getafe, Alonso dismissed rumors of a loan move for the 18-year-old, stating he was not considering a departure for either Endrick or teammate Gonzalo Garcia. “Both are ready to play,” Alonso remarked, emphasizing the intense competition in the attacking lineup.
Endrick’s Struggles and World Cup Aspirations
However, according to journalist Pepe Alvarez, the situation surrounding Endrick has shifted. The young striker is reportedly now open to a loan move in January, seeking a solution that ensures him regular playing time ahead of the 2026 World Cup. “Endrick is set to leave in January; he has come around to the idea of finding a loan that will guarantee him minutes as he aims for a spot on the national team,” Alvarez noted.
Aiming for Growth Amidst Stiff Competition
This decision stems from two main factors: his limited minutes thus far this season and his ambition to represent Brazil on the world stage. With established stars like Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Mastantuono already occupying key positions in Madrid’s attack, Endrick realizes that a temporary move could be beneficial for his development. The club itself appears supportive of this potential loan, as they seek a suitable project where Endrick can gain essential experience.
The coming weeks will be crucial for Endrick’s future at Real Madrid, especially with interest from clubs such as Olympique de Marseille. As he contemplates his next steps, one thing is clear: the Brazilian talent is eager to make an impact on both club and international stages.
