Endrick, a 20-year-old Brazilian forward, has communicated his desire to leave in this Real Madrid transfer window to get more playing time in the 2026-27 season. The club has not yet decided whether they will accept a new loan deal or keep the player in José Mourinho's squad.

The striker returned this summer after a six-month loan spell at Olympique de Lyon, which ended on June 30. Endrick is under contract with the club until 2030, giving Real Madrid control over his future and eliminating the need for a permanent transfer.

Endrick Requests a Departure for More Minutes

The request was revealed by Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, stating that Endrick is seeking a club where he can consistently play. The forward believes that competition in the attacking department may restrict his involvement in the upcoming season.

Kylian Mbappé is the primary choice for the center forward position. Additionally, Real Madrid has brought in Carlos Espí and is exploring more offensive options, reducing the available space for the Brazilian in the rotation.

Endrick previously experienced a lack of continuity before his move to France. The club agreed to a six-month loan deal with Lyon, retaining ties to a player for whom they paid a €35 million fixed fee to Palmeiras, in addition to performance-related variables.

His time at Lyon improved his sporting situation. The forward concluded the loan spell with eight goals and eight assists, providing him with more experience to compete for a place during preseason back in Madrid.

José Mourinho Still Counts on the Brazilian

José Mourinho's stance does not necessarily align with the departure request. Recent reports suggest that the coach intends to assess Endrick before considering any moves and have not ruled out the player's continuity.

The forward shortened his vacation to join training earlier. After just three sessions, he scored in the friendly against Fiorentina and displayed defensive work as requested by Mourinho.

Arancha Rodríguez also includes the forward in the squad. The journalist believes that Endrick could initially serve as a substitute and partake in a rotation beyond the starting eleven during a season with various competitions.

This assessment keeps the situation open. The Brazilian desires playing time but is also willing to compete if Mourinho ensures enough opportunities to prove his worth within the team.

Roma Monitoring His Situation in LaLiga

Roma is among the clubs interested in capitalizing on the uncertainties. The club is considering a loan with a purchase option and a potential buy-back clause, although Real Madrid has not accepted that arrangement at present.

The next step will be Mourinho's decision after evaluating the squad. If the coach cannot guarantee regular involvement, the club will explore a loan before the August deadline. Otherwise, Endrick will remain at Real Madrid for the new season in LaLiga.
