Endrick at Flamengo? Could leave Real after Mourinho call

Endrick looks to establish himself in Real Madrid’s (ESP) squad

Flamengo continues searching for a center forward in this transfer window. With that, a new name has emerged as an option on the market: Endrick, formerly of Palmeiras and now a Real Madrid (ESP) striker.

According to the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’, Real Madrid would welcome another loan move for Endrick so the Brazilian can get more playing time. The 20-year-old forward’s departure is being discussed because José Mourinho has asked for room in the squad for new signings.

What is Endrick’s situation at Real Madrid?

Signed by Real Madrid for R$ 400 million in July 2024, Endrick has not managed to establish himself in the Spanish team. Because of that, the youngster was loaned to Lyon (FRA) in January 2026, staying in France until the end of the European season.

Wearing Lyon’s shirt, Endrick played 21 matches, totaling eight goals and eight assists. His performances for the French side even earned him a call-up from Carlo Ancelotti for the 2026 World Cup. However, the youngster was remembered for missing a goal in the elimination against Norway in the round of 16.

What is the article author’s opinion on Endrick at Flamengo?

Endrick is an extraordinarily talented player and would fit into any squad in Brazilian football. On the other hand, the youngster has a strong connection with Palmeiras, something that could get in the way of a possible deal with Mengão. Although Flamengo has no negotiations underway for the player, I think Endrick would be a good addition to the rubro-negro squad. Also, Leonardo Jardim has a good track record working with young players,” said Davi Esteves, a journalist for Coluna do Fla.

What are Flamengo’s transfer priorities?

Flamengo wants to bring in three players to strengthen the squad in this transfer window. So far, the only name that has ‘leaked’ is Thiago Almada, former Botafogo player and Atlético de Madrid (ESP) midfielder. The Rubro-Negro, in fact, is already in advanced talks with the Argentine.

In addition, the club’s board wants to sign a winger and a center forward. The idea is to bring in a young player to rotate with Pedro in certain matches, since the No. 9 is an undisputed starter in Leonardo Jardim’s team.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (29) to face Internacional. The match will take place at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Beira-Rio Stadium, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of Flamengo’s 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, Prime Video (streaming) will broadcast the match against Internacional.
