Benfica eye Brazilian international, Mourinho excited | OneFootball

Benfica may move forward with the signing of Endrick in the January transfer window. According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, the Brazilian international is not satisfied with his lack of playing time at Real Madrid (he has 0 minutes in 25/26), and Rui Costa is considering offering a gift to José Mourinho in January.

“Endrick could leave Real Madrid in January on loan due to a lack of game time. Interested clubs: Sevilla, Bayer Leverkusen, Leipzig, Benfica, Palmeiras, Marseille, Nice, Monaco, Bologna, PSV, Ajax,” reports Ekrem Konur in a post on social network X, last Monday.

Remember, this is not the first time Endrick has been linked to Benfica. In the recent past, the former Palmeiras striker was put on the radar of the Eagles. However, the club shifted its attention to other targets, eventually closing the signing of Franjo Ivanovic, the Croatian international.

Although he did not mention Benfica by name, Fabrizio Romano also spoke about the striker’s situation at the Spanish club: “It is expected that Endrick will leave Real Madrid in January and talks are already underway. The Brazilian wants to play more and be present at the 2026 World Cup.”

In his debut season at Real Madrid, Endrick – valued at 35 million euros – played 37 matches: 22 in La Liga, nine in the Champions League, and six in the Copa del Rey. In the 845 minutes he was used, the Brazilian international scored seven goals, averaging one goal every 120 minutes.
