Endrick is of interest to Ligue 1. If we rely on information recently published abroad, Paris Saint-Germain would be in the running to welcome the Brazilian. This news is difficult to believe since relations between Florentino Pérez and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi are frosty, especially since the transfer of Kylian Mbappé. Yesterday, ESPN Brazil revealed that Olympique de Marseille would also be interested in the idea of ​​relaunching the Auriverde striker, particularly with the departures planned during the CAN. The residents of the Orange Vélodrome, who spoke last summer with the Merengues regarding Dani Ceballos, inquired about the situation of the former Palmeiras player.

Several clubs are already there to compete with OM

An element which does not enter into Xabi Alonso's plans at the moment. Pushed out during the last transfer window, Endrick, who was injured, refused to go on loan. He was convinced he could reverse the trend and establish himself as Kylian Mbappé's understudy. But the Frenchman only leaves crumbs, which benefits Gonzalo Garcia who showed up during the Club World Cup. Endrick has taken his place on the substitutes' bench since his return from injury (0 minutes of play). At 19, he needs to play, especially since he has the 2026 World Cup in his sights.

A few weeks ago, the Spanish press revealed that Carlo Ancelotti, his former coach and current Brazil coach, had recommended a loan to the player and to Real Madrid so that he could put all the chances on his side. The Merengues were not closed last summer. But Endrick closed the door. For several days, several Madrid media have assured that Casa Blanca still wants to send him on loan this winter. But the answer was always the same: no. Where are we today, when several clubs are already knocking on its door?

Endrick wants to stay in Spain no matter what

From the player's side, we hear different bell sounds. As always, some media persist and assure that he will not move. His first option is always to win in Madrid and seize the slightest opportunity, he who does not want to leave the capital and Spain according to UOL. During the break, he continued to work, notably scoring in a friendly against Castilla. He does a lot of work both with the staff and with specialists he has hired from outside in order to reach the best possible physical and technical level according to TNT Sports Brazil.

For others, the door is no longer necessarily locked. Spear! reveals that the attacker is slightly reviewing his position and that a departure, temporary or permanent, cannot be ruled out for the first time. Information mentioned yesterday by ESPNwho revealed that a decision will be made based on how things will develop between now and the international break in November. For its part, Real Madrid is of the same opinion according to TNT Sports. The Brazilian publication recently explained that no decision has yet been made regarding a loan, but that management is taking his case very seriously.

Real Madrid will decide

The rest of the first half of the season and especially the winter transfer window will be decisive for Endrick. Real Madrid will evaluate whether a loan is beneficial for them or not. For the moment, Xabi Alonso does not seem to be counting on him, despite his positive words about him. “He’s been training well for weeks. You have to analyze the context of the match. It has a brutal finish. The competition is tough. The time will come.”But time is running out a few months before the World Cup. Especially since Ancelotti has never yet summoned him since taking office. UOL is also very worried about him.

“With less than a year until the 2026 World Cup, Endrick has still not been called up by his former coach Carlo Ancelotti since he took the reins of the Brazilian national team. The Italian has not yet defined all the names in the attacking sector, but this absence puts him behind other attackers in the race for a call-up for the World Cups in Canada, the United States and Mexico. Which is not a good sign for Endrick, who is having discussions with several teams according to the Brazilian media. This does not suit OM, which has competition and is waiting in the shadows for light to be shed on the Endrick case.
