Sources: Endrick open to Madrid loan exit in Jan

"The Brazil international, 19, has not played a single minute in LaLiga this season, despite recovering from an injury which kept him out of action since May. Endrick's lack of involvement in Sunday's LaLiga game at Getafe -- where he warmed up on the touchline, before appearing visibly frustrated, kicking a water bottle onto the pitch, when told he would not be introduced -- was "the last straw," a source told ESPN."

"Madrid agreed a deal to sign Endrick from Palmeiras in 2022, but had to wait until July 2024 -- when he turned 18 -- to formally complete the transfer, signing a six-year contract. Sources told ESPN the deal was worth a total of €72 million ($83.6m), the biggest transfer in Brazilian football history. In his debut season, 2024-25, Endrick played just 354 minutes in LaLiga -- scoring once -- although he did find the net five times in the Copa del Rey."

Endrick, 19, is open to a January departure from Real Madrid with his representatives pursuing a possible loan to secure playing time. He has not played any LaLiga minutes this season despite recovering from a hamstring injury suffered in May and a subsequent relapse over the summer. He warmed up during the Getafe match but was not introduced, reacting with visible frustration. Real Madrid completed his move from Palmeiras in July 2024 on a six-year contract worth €72 million. In 2024-25 he logged 354 LaLiga minutes with one goal and scored five times in the Copa del Rey. Multiple European clubs, including Marseille, are tracking him.
