The first season of Endrick at Real Madrid will have been relatively trying. Arrived for € 45 million last summer, the young attacker had to be satisfied with crumbs behind the untouchables that are Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappé. He has for the moment known 32 appearances (all competitions combined) with the Blanco jersey for 7 goals scored. In 636 minutes of play, it is still a report of a goal every 86 minutes. This average would make more than a center-forward pale. But it remains insufficient for the Brazilian. While repeating his desire to stay at the club, he wants more playing time.
While Carlo Ancelotti should leave at the end of the exercise, Endrick appears only in the 6th offensive choice, far behind the others. Behind the holder trio, Brahim Diaz is the one who shot the game most with 1,298 minutes. Arda Güler then comes with 1,245 minutes. On the entire workforce, the former Palmeiras is the 2nd player who had the least playing time. The only one who has a lower playing time is called David Alaba and for good reason … his rupture of a crossed ligament in January 2024 held him away from the fields for a year.
Endrick wants to compete in the World Cup
At 18 and after a first season spent in the shadows in Madrid, the native of Taguatingu aspires more. The changes in the offseason have not yet intervened in Madrid but the attacker wants to play more, even if it means leaving far from the Merengues. This is what Readerwhich reveals the main reason: the 2026 World Cup. The Brazilian international (14 selections, 3 goals) has made it its big goal, which is not yet an important element of the Seleçao. He had even been dismissed by Dorival Junior at the November Rally.
Endrick was not hidden from it last month, sowing the mess around him a little. “Honestly, what concerns me most is the fear of not participating in the World Cup. I am worried … because my dream is to participate in the World Cup. It's even difficult to talk about it. I want to help Brazil win his sixth World Cup. ” But for that, you have to play. He has already expressed his will in the Madrid management and Reader Even evokes the interest of the RB Leizpig to obtain the loan of the player. This summer soap opera has only just started.
