Young Brazilian forward Endrick is enduring a challenging start to the season since joining Real Madrid. With limited game time, numerous clubs have enquired about signing him on loan.
Having arrived at Real Madrid with much fanfare and hailed as a future star, Endrick is struggling to find his place in the Madrid squad. In an attack already packed with talents like Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr, and Rodrygo, the young Brazilian international has not received the minutes he had hoped for. Since the start of the season, the former Palmeiras player has played just 122 minutes across all competitions, with one start (scoring two goals). This is insufficient game time for a Brazilian international.
Claudio Ranieri makes him a priority
Despite his young age, Endrick already has 12 caps and three goals for Brazil. While he had initially expressed his determination to prove himself at the Bernabéu, the lack of minutes granted by Carlo Ancelotti could be frustrating.
In light of this situation, many clubs have contacted Real Madrid to secure Endrick’s services on loan this winter. Among them is AS Roma. Currently 12th in Serie A, Claudio Ranieri’s Giallorossi are having a difficult start to the season. The club is now on its third coach after just three months of competition. With an underperforming attack, the Italian manager has requested reinforcements from his directors. Ranieri has specifically targeted Real Madrid’s number 16, believing the player fits the profile of the forward he is seeking.
Interest from England and Spain
AS Roma will face stiff competition to sign the 18-year-old Brazilian. An English club in an even more precarious position is also in the race for his signature. Southampton, currently bottom of the Premier League, are determined to offer Endrick more game time. With the worst attacking record in the league (seven goals in 11 matches), Russell Martin’s side urgently needs to bolster their offensive line, and the Brazilian forward is a name they highly value.
In Spain, there are also potential suitors for Endrick. According to Sport, Real Valladolid are keen to secure him on loan in January. After a failed attempt to sign him this summer, the club, presided over by former Real Madrid striker Ronaldo, aims to take advantage of Endrick’s current situation. Valladolid is one of La Liga’s lowest-scoring teams, sitting 19th in the standings. Endrick’s arrival could bring much-needed energy to their attack. For the young player, it would be an opportunity to gain valuable game time and continue his development close to Madrid.
