Endrick yet to debut for Real Madrid, future in doubt | OneFootball

The young Brazilian forward Endrick has not yet taken the field for Real Madrid this season, with the arrival of coach Xabi Alonso at the helm of the team.

The former Spanish player has been rotating the squad, but the 19-year-old, who had already played 37 matches last season – scoring seven goals – remains without opportunities. Since May, when he last played in the victory over Sevilla, Endrick has gone five months without playing, even though he has been available for recent matches.

In a previous press conference, Xabi Alonso assured that Endrick remains in the club's plans and that there is no intention to transfer him at the moment. “It is not considered that Endrick or Gonzalo García will leave. They are ready to play, but the position has a lot of competition,” stated the coach.

The Spanish coach highlighted the intensity of the squad and explained that the Brazilian will need to wait for his moment, competing for a position with Kylian Mbappé and Gonzalo García.

Despite the guaranteed stay, the current scenario raises doubts about the immediate future of the forward. With the desire to have more minutes this season, Endrick's staff is already considering a possible loan in January, which would allow the player to play regularly and seek a spot in the Brazilian national team for the 2026 World Cup. Clubs from France and Italy have already shown interest, including Olympique de Marseille.

Endrick continues to train intensively and maintains the expectation of debuting under Xabi Alonso in the first half of the season, while Real Madrid carefully evaluates each decision in a highly competitive offensive sector.
