Overview
- This week José Mourinho publicly told interested clubs to “forget it,” saying Endrick will not be allowed to leave on a January loan and that the player remains part of his plans.
- Endrick has made only a single brief appearance this season, logging about four minutes after a preseason muscle injury kept him out for roughly four to five weeks.
- The club board and Endrick’s agent have signalled support for keeping him at the Bernabéu, and ESPN reported president Florentino Pérez is opposed to sanctioning an early exit.
- Several clubs including AC Milan, AS Roma and Aston Villa have been linked with loan moves, but Real’s preference has been loan-only deals without buy options to protect future control.
- If Madrid keeps their stance, Endrick faces continued limited minutes this season and the next key milestones to watch are Mourinho’s selection choices in upcoming fixtures and whether club positions change before January.
