The Real Madrid Endick Felipe Starlette reminded the world of the world how talented it is on Wednesday evening, with a two-touches of the ball that gave the Merengues in the Copa del Rey's semi-finals against Real Sociedad. Due to the absence of Kylian Mbappé due to dental pain, Endrick was treated to a rare place of holder.

The 18 -year -old arrived for 40 million euros plus 20 million euros in bonuses from Palmeiras this summer, and impressed with two goals during his first five appearances, although he only played 20 minutes. The teenager starlet was however deprived of opportunities overall, and only played 474 minutes in total during the season. In total, Endrick has only played four times since kick -off, although he has marked six times, and only once he was holder in competitions other than COPA.

Endrick will be loaned

During the winter transfer window, rumors circulated that he could go on loan for more playing time, but this rumor was dismissed by Carlo Ancelotti, and the club apparently refused an approach at the end of January of West Ham United. Diario As said that a meeting between Endrick, his agents and Real Madrid will take place at the end of the season to discuss the interest of a loan.

The fact that Mbappé has settled as a new number number for Real Madrid is now a major obstacle to the development of Endrick and its playing time, since the Frenchman is likely to play the vast majority of matches. In addition, Endrick would be eager to claim a place in the Brazil team for the 2026 World Cup. He recently abandoned the race and will need minutes to join Raphinha, Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior. Carlo Ancelotti preached patience to Endrick and Arda Guller, but it is understandable that he wants more playing time.
