Real Madrid change stance on Endrick’s future

The brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid have altered their stance on the immediate future of young striker Endrick with the club. This comes amid the understanding that a fresh summer departure for the 20-year-old cannot be ruled out.

Frontman Endrick of course spent the 2nd half of the 2025/26 campaign plying his trade out on loan away from Spain’s capital.

After struggling for game-time across the opening half of the term, the Brazilian was farmed out to Olympique Lyonnais, with a view to regaining form and fitness alike.

And the move proved to be a huge success for all parties involved. All told, across 21 appearances in all competitions, Endrick racked up an impressive 16 direct goal contributions.

The expectation, in turn, was that the starlet would be afforded a fresh chance to prove his talents back in La Liga this coming season.

As alluded to above, though, this, in fact, may not prove to be the case. As per a report from Real Madrid journalist Javier Rodríguez Pascual, writing for ESPN:

‘At Real Madrid, they no longer rule out Endrick’s departure this summer.’

The understanding is that, with space required for a new signing, the South American and Gonzalo García will be forced to battle it out for one spot in José Mourinho’s squad.

Endrick, for his part, is eager to stay put to fight for minutes in Madrid this season.
