Endrick’s agent warns Of possible January exit if playing time doesn’t improve
Real Madrid’s teenage Brazilian striker Endrick faces an uncertain future at the Bernabéu, with his representative hinting that a move in the January window could become inevitable if his minutes remain limited. Michael Yormark, president of Roc Nation, said the player’s primary wish is to stay in Madrid but emphasized that “he needs to play” and that the situation will be reassessed before the winter transfer period.
Endrick’s recent performances have offered a glimpse of his potential. After a sluggish start to the season under José Mourinho, the forward helped spark a comeback win against AS Roma in the Champions League and featured for 70 minutes in a 4‑1 league victory over Sevilla. Despite these contributions, he has yet to secure a regular spot in the starting eleven.
Yormark confirmed that discussions are ongoing and that the player’s long‑term outlook is “a constantly evolving process.” He added that the agency met with Endrick in Madrid to gauge his ambitions, noting that the 19‑year‑old “is a very talented guy and eager to play.” The agent stressed that the limited window for a footballer’s career makes securing consistent elite‑level minutes a priority.
The lack of guaranteed playing time has already attracted interest from several European clubs. Italian sides AS Roma and AC Milan have been linked with the Brazilian, and further suitors are expected to emerge as the January deadline approaches. Yormark did not rule out a loan or permanent move, stating that the decision will hinge on how the situation develops between now and the end of 2026.
Endrick’s trajectory at Madrid mirrors his previous loan spell at Olympique Lyonnais, where he gained valuable experience before returning to the Spanish capital at Mourinho’s request. However, the Portuguese coach has struggled to integrate the youngster into his tactical plans, even after the striker recovered from an early‑season injury.
For now, the hope within Endrick’s camp is that his recent impact will translate into more consistent involvement. Should the club fail to provide the required minutes, a mid‑season switch to a team offering guaranteed playing time could become increasingly attractive,
