This time, it seems that the paths of Real Madrid and Endrick will separate at the next transfer window. After resisting last year, the first part of the season was an ordeal for the young Brazilian. If he had to be content with crumbs under Carlo Ancelotti, the striker has not played a single minute with Casa Blanca since the resumption in August. Injured during the first weeks, he has been called up again since mid-September, without playing.
He stays on the bench and watches his partners more or less shine. For Xabi Alonso, he is still part of the project according to his statements at a press conference at the start of the week. “ We are not there at the moment (with the idea of leaving, editor's note). Competition at the top is intense. You have to be ready for every match. Endrick, Gonzalo and Brahim must be ready. They are going to come into play and you have to be ready. It's elite and we need a lot of good players “.

The contours of this loan were even outlined during this interview, in particular the fact that he is not joining a Spanish club so as not to challenge the Merengues and play a bad trick on them in La Liga.
According to ESPN in Brazil, Endrick decided to join one of the 5 major championships, or among the 3 best teams (traditionally) in Portugal (Benfica, Sporting CP, FC Porto). He wants to participate in a European competition in this second part of the season with, of course, a preference for the Champions League over the Europa League. Last criterion, he would like to be loaned to a team with an attacking style and capable of winning its national championship. Several clubs tick all the boxes, including OM, who have already inquired…
