Endrick has a plan in place if he doesn’t get enough first-team minutes in the opening months of his debut campaign.
The 18-year-old forward, widely recognized as one of the world’s most promising talents, was moved to tears last month during his official unveiling as a Real Madrid player.
Addressing 40,000 fans at the Bernabeu, he expressed his joy at joining the reigning European champions, saying, “I am so happy. Since I was a kid, I have always been a Madrid fan and now I am going to play for Madrid.”
Endrick continued, “I am here, I am going to play, and I am so happy. My family is as well. I don’t have words to describe what I am feeling. I always wanted to be here. I wanted to play for Madrid.”
He made his debut in a pre-season match against AC Milan on July 27 and also featured in a 2-1 loss to Barcelona. However, he has yet to make his competitive debut for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, missing out on the Super Cup match against Atalanta and remaining on the bench during the recent trip to Mallorca.
With the fixture list becoming busier in the coming weeks, Ancelotti is expected to give the Brazilian forward more opportunities as the team defends their Champions League title.
However, Endrick has not ruled out the possibility of a loan move in the winter transfer window if his playing time falls short of expectations, according to Spanish publication AS.
The report suggests that while Endrick aims to secure a starting spot at Madrid as soon as possible, he is also aware that limited playing time could be a reality. His situation will be reassessed at Christmas, with a further evaluation planned for the summer.Endrick remains optimistic about his prospects of breaking into Carlo Ancelotti’s lineup. At 18, he is the same age as Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior were when they first joined Real Madrid, and he has already gained considerable experience on the international stage.
Although his pre-season did not go as planned, the teenager is eager to learn. During the pre-season tour, he remarked, “Madrid has amazing players, and when we return, I’ll have the chance to play alongside more of them. I plan to seek their advice because I’m here to work.” Endrick, the young Brazilian forward and new Real Madrid signing, is eager to make an impact in his debut season but is also prepared for the challenges ahead. Despite his excitement about joining the club and his impressive appearances during pre-season matches against AC Milan and Barcelona, he has yet to make his competitive debut under Carlo Ancelotti. With Real Madrid’s schedule intensifying, Ancelotti is expected to give him more opportunities, but Endrick is realistic about the possibility of limited playing time.
According to reports, Endrick is considering a potential loan move during the winter transfer window if he doesn’t see enough first-team action by then. His situation will be reassessed around Christmas, with another review planned in the summer. Despite this, Endrick remains optimistic, drawing inspiration from fellow Brazilians Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior, who joined Real Madrid at a similar age. He is committed to learning from his teammates and making the most of his opportunities, demonstrating his determination to succeed at one of the world’s biggest clubs.
