JAKARTA - Real Madrid are open to lending Endrick to other teams so as not to hinder his progress. However, the young striker's priority remains at the Bernabeu to follow in Vinicius Junior's footsteps.
The club paid Palmeiras 72 million euros for Endrick in 2022 when the forward was 16 years old, a move similar to what was done earlier for other Brazilian stars, such as Vinicius and Rodrygo.
Endrick joined Real Madrid last summer after he was 18 years old, but he only played 847 minutes under Carlo Ancelotti.
Even so, he showed an instinct to score his goal in the Copa del Rey with five goals in six games.
Kylian Mbappe is indeed the number 9 irreplaceable player. However, Ancelotti at that time chose options other than Endrick when the French player was not available.
Brazil's ESPN said that Ancelotti still included Endrick in its plans for the 2026 World Cup with the Brazilian National Team.

Therefore, Ancelotti also supports the 19-year-old striker to find regular playing time at other clubs so as not to hinder his development.
The arrival of Xabi Alonso did not seem to change the situation of the striker at Bernabeu.
Therefore, after a meeting between board of directors and technical staff, Real Madrid believes that the best option is to lend it to another La Liga team where he can get regular playing time and adapt to the Spanish league.
Endrick is still valued as a player with great potential for the future, but now staff believes Gonzalo Garcia has a more useful profile at this time.
In fact, Alonso initially asked for the arrival of a striker of the same quality as Joselu to play as a substitute center-forward in June 2025.
However, after Gonzalo's fantastic performance at the 2025 Club World Cup, they decided that the academy player would fill the role of a substitute center-forward.
Meanwhile, Endrick again has no place so that his future is still uncertain.
Currently, Real Madrid's willingness to let it go does not mean the Brazilian will leave the team in the summer transfer market.
The problem is, the striker remains committed to staying in Valdebebas. Endrick's closest people told ESPN that another young player on loan, such as Reinier and Luka Jovic, was unsuccessful. While those who decide to stay, such as Vinicius and Arda Guler, now have a permanent place in the team.
Vinicius, in fact, is the most often cited role model by those who have been in the same team as Endrick.
The 25-year-old also suffered in his early days at Real Madrid, even while playing for Castilla, but finally won the FIFA Player of the Year award in 2024.
On that basis, Endrick prefers to stay at Real Madrid rather than be loaned. For Endrick, Vinicius is the way forward.
On the other hand, the injury Endrick and the formation Alonso have so far benefited the Brazilian.
The new coach has chosen the attacking formation with Mbappe and Vinicius as attackers.
In this context, Endrick continues his recovery and believes that upon his return, which is expected to be in September 2025, he will be able to convince Alonso that he deserves a place in his team.
However, Endrick could not forget the presence of his compatiot, Rodrygo, as a competitor to coat Vinicius and Mbappe.
Alonso, as seen in the 2025 Club World Cup, had the idea of playing with Vinicius and Mbappe up front so he needed another striker next to Gonzalo to replace the two core players as they missed.
Well, it means that there is only one slot that must be contested. In the midst of uncertainty, Rodrygo turned out to want to stay at Real Madrid.
As a result, Endrick's chances of becoming one of Vinicius and Mbappe's coatings were tough.
