Endrick, a 20-year-old Brazilian forward, is once again available for Real Madrid after recovering from his muscle injury, but his continuity remains uncertain. His return coincides with the competition of Carlos Espí, who has only played for 23 minutes and scored one goal in four matches this season. The Real Madrid transfer market is considering a new loan.

The Brazilian was called up by José Mourinho for the Champions League debut against Inter Milan on September 8th, after training with the group. However, his return came with a clear limitation: the coach planned to give him only 5-10 minutes due to his recent recovery.

Endrick Returns, but Real Madrid Remains Uncertain

Endrick is facing his second spell in the first team after being on loan at Lyon for the second half of the 2025/26 season. The agreement with the French club ended on June 30, 2026, and the forward returned to Madrid to work under Mourinho's orders.

The issue lies in the playing time. In the 2025/26 season, Endrick only featured in 3 official matches with Real Madrid, all as a substitute, playing 99 minutes without scoring or assisting.

His contract is not a problem for the club. Endrick remains linked to Real Madrid until June 30, 2030, after the club paid around 47.5 million euros to Palmeiras for his signing in 2024. His current market value is around 42 million euros.

Carlos Espí Also Faces Competition from Endrick

The situation of Carlos Espí adds another relevant detail to the scenario. The 21-year-old forward has played in four matches for Real Madrid at the start of this season, but has only accumulated 23 minutes, with one goal and no assists.

Espí made his debut with the first team on August 22, 2026 against Espanyol and has become a substitute option. The fact that the Levante youth product is barely getting minutes despite Endrick's absence for several weeks reflects the challenge the Brazilian will face to secure regular playing time when the squad is fully fit.

The competition is not just limited to Espí. Kylian Mbappé remains the team's offensive reference, and Mourinho has cautiously managed Endrick's return following the injury. Therefore, the Brazilian needs to regain form before demanding a stable role.

The next decision point will be in January 2027. If Endrick continues to be sidelined for mere appearances in the coming months, Real Madrid will have to consider whether a new loan is the way to increase his playing time, a possibility that was already considered in case of an exit this summer.

For now, Endrick will remain in Madrid and has a contract until 2030, but his progress during the fall will determine if the club keeps the Brazilian in the squad or arranges another loan for January.
