Real Madrid make huge Endrick transfer decision as Brazilian teen fears lack of playing time under Xabi Alonso

According to a report from Cadena SER, Madrid believe it would be in Endrick's best interests if he were to go on loan for the 2025-26 season, despite the player's desire to stay in the Spanish capital.

Madrid are of the opinion that Endrick, who turns 19 this month, will remain on the periphery under Alonso, much like he was under previous manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Brazilian had to miss the first couple weeks of the Club World Cup in the United States as he was recovering from an injury. In his absence, academy starlet Gonzalo Garcia has started every single game and has been the find of the tournament, scoring joint-most four goals and an assist in five games. With Garcia, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Franco Mastantuono, who is yet to join the club, Madrid believe that Endrick will remain at the lower end of Alonso's pecking order next season. In such circumstances, the 15-time European champions are planning to send the teenage striker on loan.

The report revealed that clubs from Germany and France, who had previously shown interest in taking Endrick on loan, have once again reignited their pursuit of the former Palmeiras sensation's signature.

According to reports from Spain, Endrick held a meeting with Madrid chief Jose Angel Sanchez in the USA to discuss his future. As per journalist Jorge Picon, after a few training sessions, Alonso has decided to use the Brazilian international as a right winger next season. It is expected that a decision on his future will be revealed in the coming weeks.
