La Liga
Endrick, a 20-year-old Brazilian forward from Real Madrid, is one of the options Valencia CF is considering to strengthen its attack through a loan in the January 2027 transfer market. Braulio Vázquez has reportedly approached the white club due to the lack of goals that is affecting Valencia at the beginning of this season.

Valencia CF Inquires About a Loan for Endrick
The arrival of Braulio Vázquez to the sports management has opened a new phase after the dismissals of Carlos Corberán and Ron Gourlay. The immediate priority is to find a coach, but the planning for January also includes a specific need: to increase offensive production.
The data explains the concern. Valencia CF holds the last position in LaLiga with one point in five matches, having scored only one goal in 450 minutes. This record highlights the need to review the forward position when the transfer market reopens.
In this scenario, Endrick emerges. The proposed solution would be a loan until the end of the season, enabling Valencia to add a forward without a transfer fee and providing the Brazilian with playing time that is currently hard to come by at Madrid.
There is no finalized negotiation yet between the clubs. The information suggests an initial approach by Braulio Vázquez to understand the conditions and, above all, to check whether Real Madrid would be willing to authorize another temporary departure in January.
Real Madrid Can Reassess Endrick's Situation in January
The Brazilian's sporting situation allows for the scenario to be considered. Endrick suffered muscular problems at the start of the season and, after recovering, has faced stiff competition to feature in José Mourinho's plans.
The Portuguese coach requested his stay during the summer after pre-season, but the situation was pending a new assessment in January if playing time did not increase. Kylian Mbappé is the main offensive reference, and the arrival of Carlos Espí has added another alternative for the striker position.
A loan would not be a new approach. Real Madrid previously allowed Endrick to play at Olympique de Lyon from January until June 30, 2026 to enhance his consistency. He later returned to Madrid and rejoined the first team.
Furthermore, the club retains the player's contract control. Endrick signed a deal for six seasons in 2024, binding him until 2030. The purpose of a potential departure would solely focus on granting him playing time, not relinquishing his rights. Recently, AS Roma has also inquired about Endrick.

Braulio Vázquez Prepares for the January Market
For Valencia, the operation will also depend on the coach who permanently replaces Corberán. Braulio Vázquez first aims to resolve the coaching position and then, together with the new coach, define what profiles the team needs, having started LaLiga with visible issues in attack.
The next step will be to verify if Real Madrid is open to considering a loan as January approaches and what role the forward would play at Mestalla. If Endrick's participation remains limited in the coming months, he could become one of the opportunities Valencia seeks to seize in the winter transfer market.
