Endrick's January choice tests minutes against Real Madrid future
Endrick has refused to rule out a January departure amid growing interest from Serie A clubs, saying his priority is regular playing time and the best decision for his career. The 20‑year‑old Brazilian has struggled to establish himself under Jose Mourinho, managing just 141 minutes across seven appearances, with only one start.
Serie A interest and loan speculation
His limited involvement has raised questions about whether another loan move could offer the best opportunity to continue his development. Roma and AC Milan are monitoring the situation ahead of the winter transfer window.
Speaking to Ge Globo, Endrick said he is not rushing a decision, wants regular minutes, will see how things unfold in January, wants to be happy, help teammates and will do whatever advances his career.

He revealed that Mourinho checks in on him daily about his personal life, not football, and that he has a lot of faith and respect for the Portuguese manager. Endrick added he will always give everything for Real Madrid, putting the club before anyone else, and that Mourinho’s care motivates him to give his all.
Mourinho continues to support the 20‑year‑old forward, a factor that could influence the eventual decision, while Real Madrid must weigh the importance of his development, knowing that his departure would leave the coach without a strong substitute attacker for the second half of the season.
