Real Madrid outcast Endrick's stance on potential move to Mason Greenwood's Marseille revealed ahead of January transfer window

It has not been a smooth journey for Endrick in the Spanish capital ever since he completed his dream move to Real Madrid from Palmeiras, as he has been constantly overlooked, first by Carlo Ancelotti and now by Alonso in the current season. Endrick has yet to appear in a single match in the 2025-26 campaign and his frustration is slowly growing. The 19-year-old faces fierce competition for minutes at Los Blancos, which is putting his place in the Brazil squad under threat, with the 2026 World Cup fast approaching. The South American nation also have other exciting youngsters emerging - such as Estevao Willian, who is now in the Premier League with Chelsea. 

During the summer window, Endrick attracted interest from quite a few clubs in Europe but a move never materialised. However, in the upcoming January transfer window, the teenage star could consider leaving Madrid to boost his chances of sealing a spot in the Selecao squad for the World Cup next summer. 

Amid speculation over Endrick's future, L’Equipe reports that Ligue 1 giants Marseille are keen on signing the striker in the January transfer window. Marseille initially wanted to sign the Brazilian youngster in the summer window and are set to reignite their interest when the market reopens. Roberto De Zerbi is desperately looking to sign a new attacking option once the transfer window reopens, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Amine Gouiri will leave for international duty at the AFCON.

The report adds that Endrick is also keen on a move to Marseille to end his misery at Santiago Bernabeu. It now remains to be seen if Marseille will come back with a concrete offer for the 19-year-old and whether it will be an approach over a loan move or a permanent transfer. 

Journalist Matteo Moreno reported earlier this week that Endrick could head to Serie A in January in a shock move as Juventus are keen on signing the Madrid wonderkid. The Bianconeri were one of several other clubs in Italy, Spain and Germany to track the Brazilian, but Madrid at that time had blocked his transfer.

Along with Juventus and Marseille, reigning Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be plotting a move for the Brazil international, as are the Premier League's West Ham United, who have reportedly made a concrete approach to explore a January loan move.

Los Blancos handed over Endrick the club's iconic No.9 shirt at the start of the season, which was previously worn by club legends like Alfredo Di Stefano, Ronaldo Nazario and Karin Benzema. Even Cristiano Ronaldo donned the iconic number for a brief period at the start of his journey in Spain. Despite getting his dream shirt, Endrick has yet to break into the first team. However, now that the international break is over, the Brazilian will hope that Alonso provides him with some game time so that he can showcase his talent and earn the Spanish coach's trust. 

Los Blancos are scheduled to face Getafe in La Liga on October 19, followed by a key Champions League fixture against Juventus three days later. The club will then gear up to meet arch-rivals Barcelona in the season's first Clasico on October 26.
