WHAT HAPPENED?
The Brazil international forward completed a high-profile switch to Spain in the summer of 2024 when celebrating his 18th birthday. He is considered to be the hottest of prospects, having made a senior debut in his homeland at 16 years of age.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Endrick knew that he would be facing fierce competition for places at Santiago Bernabeu from the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, while Kylian Mbappe has become another ‘Galactico’ for the Blancos. Carlo Ancelotti is yet to hand the youngster a start in La Liga.
WERE YOU AWARENESS?
But in nine appearances across all competitions, Endrick has managed two goals. AS claims that he is content with his current amount of gaming time. In light of this, no attempts will be made at the beginning of 2025 to locate a loan move elsewhere.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Endrick is said to have surpassed his own goals in Spain as he becomes used to playing football in Europe. His delegates are similarly pleased with the current state of affairs and are playing down any discussion of leaving.
WHAT NEXT?
Fellow Brazilian Vinicius faced a similar situation when he joined Real as an 18-year-old in 2018, with the South American forward being given time to settle before unlocking full potential and becoming a potential Ballon d’Or winner in 2024.
