Real Madrid‘s narrow victory over Getafe (0-1) this Sunday has rekindled hope for Xabi Alonso and his squad, who reclaim the top spot in La Liga. However, the young Brazilian forward Endrick once again found himself sidelined, raising questions about his future at the club.
The 18-year-old has struggled to find his footing this season, prompting speculation about a potential loan move in January. Prior to the match against Getafe, Alonso dismissed rumors of an impending departure for Endrick, stating he was not considering letting him or Gonzalo Garcia leave. “Both are ready to play. The competition is fierce in that position,” Alonso explained, emphasizing the depth of talent within his attacking options.
Endrick’s World Cup Aspirations
Despite Alonso’s assurances, reports from journalist Pepe Alvarez suggest that the situation has shifted. Endrick is now reportedly open to a loan deal this winter, driven by two main factors: his lack of playing time and his ambition to secure a spot in Brazil’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. Recognizing the challenge of breaking into an attacking lineup that includes stars like Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Mastantuono, Endrick is contemplating a temporary move to reignite his career.
Real Madrid’s Stance on the Loan
The club appears supportive of Endrick’s desire for more game time, actively seeking a suitable loan arrangement that would allow him to develop further. The focus is on finding a project where he can play regularly and enhance his chances for international selection. With the transfer window approaching, the coming weeks will be crucial for Endrick as he weighs his options.
This decision comes at a pivotal moment for both player and club. Endrick’s performance so far this season has seen limited opportunities, which may hinder his aspirations on the international stage. As he contemplates his next steps, one question remains: can he find a pathway back to form and contention for Brazil’s World Cup squad?
