Real Madrid to Reassess Endrick with January Move a Real Possibility

The club’s January decision could either send the 20‑year‑old out for regular minutes or keep him at Madrid as Mourinho tests his fit in a crowded attack.

Overview

Endrick has barely played this season after an early muscle problem and only made a late cameo as his first minutes, leaving him on the fringes of Mourinho’s matchday plans.
Jose Mourinho blocked a summer departure and publicly said he wants to work with Endrick, but the coach has given the club a window to reassess the forward before January.
Real Madrid face a crowded forward line that now includes Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, new signing Carlos Espí and several versatile attackers, which has squeezed Endrick’s route to regular games.
Multiple clubs are reported to be interested for January — Arsenal, Roma, Liverpool and Manchester United among them — with some outlets saying United prefer a permanent deal while others expect a loan with buyback protections.
Endrick’s agent Thiago Freitas has denied the player asked to leave, and the club must weigh the immediate need for the player to get minutes against Real’s desire to protect its long‑term investment.
