The ordeal is not about to end for Endrick at Real Madrid. Recruited in July 2024 by the Merengue club from Palmeiras for an operation worth 35 million euros, plus 25 million bonuses, the Brazilian had everything to follow in the footsteps of Neymar at FC Barcelona and become the new nugget of world football. However, the dream quickly turned into a nightmare for the striker, especially since the arrival of Xabi Alonso on the Madrid bench, since he has not played a single minute since the replacement of Carlo Ancelotti.
Nothing has worked out recently and things even got heated between the two men during the meeting against Getafe this weekend. Endrick would have made a bad move, shooting into a bottle, when he understood that he was not going to come on in the second period, indicated the Spanish press, while Xabi Alonso assured that he was counting on the 19-year-old nugget: “if he asked to leave this winter? That's not in my head right now, that's not what happened. He's ready to play competitively.”.
Endrick does not want to miss the 2026 World Cup
And while its future is on everyone's lips with a view to this winter, there is no shortage of proposals. Targeted in the Premier League, in Spain, but also in France, where Olympique de Marseille would like to try its luck, the Brazilian nugget did not want to give in and was ready to do anything to return to the forefront with her current club, after a long injury which kept her from the field at the end of last season.
But according to El Chiringuitothe last few weeks have convinced Endrick to change his mind. Today, the ex-Palmeiras striker would like to leave Real Madrid, from the winter transfer window in order to quickly find playing time elsewhere to catch the eye of his former coach, Carlo Ancelotti, with a view to a place for the 2026 World Cup, with Brazil. Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia will have to have a solid speech to convince Endrick to come to OM, if they wish to enlist him.
