According to SPORT, Real Madrid's young star Endrick has several potential options for a January exit from the club. The 18-year-old forward joined Los Blancos from Palmeiras last July after reaching adulthood, with his transfer reportedly costing around $63.3 million (€60 million), as noted by market expert Fabrizio Romano.
Endrick made an impressive debut at the Bernabeu, scoring in both La Liga and Champions League matches. He set records by becoming the youngest foreign player to score for Madrid in La Liga and the youngest player to do so in the Champions League, as well as Brazil's youngest player to score in the prestigious tournament.
However, since those initial successes, his playing time has diminished. With Kylian Mbappe occupying his preferred central striker position and struggling to find form, Endrick, along with fellow young talent Arda Guler, has seen limited action, totaling less than 15 minutes in Madrid's last six games.
As a result, loan moves for both players are being considered, with SPORT indicating that several clubs have expressed interest in acquiring Endrick on loan in January. Notably, Roma from Serie A is a strong contender, as they are looking to bolster their attacking options with young talent.
Other clubs interested in Endrick include Southampton in the Premier League and Real Valladolid in La Liga. The latter has reportedly reached out to Endrick's representatives, trying to persuade them that a short-term move to the Ronaldo Nazario-owned club would be beneficial for his development.
Despite the challenges, Endrick remains optimistic about his future and prefers to learn from established stars like Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo. He believes that training alongside these players will help him understand what it takes to succeed at the highest level, especially since 'Vini' and Rodrygo faced similar paths when they joined Europe at a young age before becoming key players under Carlo Ancelotti.
