UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid is back in action after the international break with a demanding schedule: they visit Real Sociedad at Anoeta next Saturday, and a few days later, they host Olympique de Marseille in the Champions League debut.
Xabi Alonso has already mentioned that he plans to make more rotations in the lineup to keep his squad fresh for a decisive month. Among the players drawing attention is Endrick, the young Brazilian forward who arrived at the Santiago Bernabéu with the potential to become a future star but has not yet had the desired continuity. The striker is seen as a medium-term project, but there is concern that the lack of playing time might hinder his development in a season that leads to the upcoming World Cup.
Real Madrid considers loaning Endrick in January
Therefore, according to DefensaCentral, several teams have shown interest in the striker. Up to now, Valencia CF had expressed interest in securing a loan for January. However, it has now emerged that Celta de Vigo is also preparing a specific proposal. The Galician club is convinced that Endrick could be the key to turning their attractive style of play into tangible results since Claudio Giráldez's team creates plenty of chances but lacks the necessary finishing touch in the attacking third.
The operation would make sense for all parties involved. Real Madrid would ensure that the player gets quality playing time in LaLiga, the footballer would gain confidence by being a regular starter every week, and the team receiving him would get a top-tier reinforcement in the winter transfer market. The deal would involve a loan until the end of the season, with the receiving club covering a proportion of the player's wages for those six months.

Endrick's camp understands that regular competition could be crucial for his chances of being called up by Brazil for the World Cup. Without regular playing time, his opportunities would diminish significantly, a situation that worries both the player and his agency.
Xabi Alonso, on the other hand, has not ruled out any possibilities. In his recent statements, he emphasized that all squad members need to feel important, whether as starters or impact substitutes. Nevertheless, the case of the young Brazilian forward could become an exception if his playing time remains scarce.
The scenario remains open: Celta de Vigo and Valencia will compete for Endrick's loan in January, while Real Madrid will decide whether to prioritize his development outside the club or keep the striker in the squad to provide him with minutes in the second half of the season. One thing is certain: the winter transfer market will be a turning point in the promising forward's career.
