Real Madrid forward already listening to offers ahead of potential January exit | OneFootball

The writing seems to be on the wall for Endrick at Real Madrid this season. The 19-year-old striker has been back from injury for over a month and has not played a single minute since, with Xabi Alonso clearly not counting on him.

As such, rumours of a January departure, on loan, are continuing to gain weight, given that the youngster desires to be in the Brazil squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Endrick already studying offers

In fact, according to AS, Endrick has given the green light for his representatives to start listening to loan offers ahead of the winter market.

Seeing Alonso’s preferences, the teenage striker has begun to listen to offers for a potential loan move in January.

This does not mean he has given up on his dream of earning a place in the team this season, but he and his management team have begun to explore alternatives should he continue without minutes before the transfer window opens.

Endrick, alongside Ferland Mendy, is the only outfield footballer yet to feature under Alonso. He has been available for seven of the twelve matches played so far this season since returning from injury, but has not been given a chance.

The situation has become unsustainable for the young player for whom Real Madrid paid €35 million, plus a possible €25 million in bonuses (unlikely to be met) two years ago.

Priority to teams outside Spain

As per the report, Endrick will give priority to offers from outside Spain. He still sees his long-term future at Real Madrid and would not feel comfortable playing for another club in La Liga, where Getafe are interested.

That is his initial stance, though nothing is definitive, as it will depend on which clubs make an approach. He will also prioritise opportunities that guarantee regular playing time, aware that he must always compete for his place.

Having consistent minutes is even more important to him than playing in the Champions League, although ideally, he would like to have both.

One of the main reasons Endrick is seeking a loan move in the winter market is to maximise his chances of being selected for the next World Cup. It is a crucial goal for his development and also for his main sponsor in the United States, New Balance.
