Endrick Leaves Door Open to January Exit From Real Madrid

Real Madrid wants a loan to protect the club’s long-term value, making any permanent move expensive for interested teams.

Overview

  • On Tuesday Endrick told Ge Globo he does not know what will happen in January and that his priority is to play regularly and be happy.
  • The 20-year-old has managed roughly 140 minutes across seven appearances this season with only one start, a run that has increased calls for more game time.
  • Sporting CP, AS Roma, AC Milan and Arsenal are reported to be tracking or pursuing Endrick, with Sporting said to have made a formal approach and Paulo Fonseca an admirer.
  • Real Madrid prefer another loan to preserve the player’s development and future value, while interested clubs seek permanent deals or high option-to-buy terms that would include buy-back protections.
  • José Mourinho has publicly defended Endrick and checks in with him daily, and the final decision will probably depend on the player’s minutes and form between now and the January window.
