The latest news from Real Madrid places Endrick, a 20-year-old Brazilian forward, considering an exit during this transfer market after the signing of Carlos Espí. The player and his agents plan to address his situation with the club due to the increased competition in the attack.

Endrick returned this summer after completing a six-month loan spell at Olympique de Lyon. The Brazilian came back with the intention of getting playing time alongside Kylian Mbappé, but Espí's arrival has altered the planned distribution for the forward position.

Real Madrid Increases Competition for Endrick

Real Madrid paid the 25 million euros release clause for Carlos Espí, a 21-year-old forward from Levante. The striker signed a five-season contract, until June 30, 2031.

Espí arrives after scoring 11 goals in around 1,300 minutes during the last season. His 1.94 meters and ability to act as a target man in the box offer José Mourinho a different profile compared to Endrick.

Endrick was hoping to take the position of the second forward after Gonzalo García's departure. However, he now must compete with Mbappé and Espí, along with other forwards who can play centrally in specific systems.

Endrick barely played 946 minutes with the Madrid first team during his initial spell. The lack of continuity led to his loan to Olympique de Lyon in January 2026, having featured for only 99 minutes in the first half of the season.

Endrick Returned After Producing 16 Goals in Lyon

The loan in France allowed the player to regain prominence. Endrick ended his time at Olympique de Lyon with eight goals and eight assists in 21 matches, equating to a direct involvement in a goal every 102 minutes.

These numbers strengthened his desire to return and compete for a spot at Real Madrid. The forward had also stated that going on loan was a positive career decision, but his aim remained to establish himself in the Madrid squad.

The scenario changed with Espí's arrival. The new signing can take on the role of a physical target in the box and provide a direct alternative to Mbappé, precisely the space Endrick hoped to fill following his performances in France.

The Brazilian is under contract until June 2030, so the club is not pressured to sell him for contractual reasons. If a departure is sanctioned, another loan to maintain control over his future would be the most fitting option.

The Meeting Will Determine the Forward's Future

Endrick's camp wants to understand the role Mourinho has in store before making a final decision. The meeting with the sporting direction will clarify whether he will get regular minutes or if he should seek another destination for the 2026-2027 season.

The club has several weeks to reorganize the attack, but Espí's addition necessitates defining the hierarchy before the start of the competition. A temporary departure would allow the Brazilian to maintain the continuity achieved in Lyon without severing ties with the club.

The next step will involve discussions among Endrick, his representatives, and Real Madrid. If the coaching staff cannot guarantee significant playing time, the player will request to consider offers before the market closes, with a loan as the primary solution.
