It was reported that the 20-year-old attacker might seek a move away , despite Gonzalo Garcia’s exit, as he was no longer guaranteed regular minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, now, according to journalist Sergio Valentin , Jose Mourinho has decided he wants the Brazilian striker to remain at Real Madrid for the 2026-27 season. The Portuguese manager considers Endrick an important part of his plans and has no desire to see the 20-year-old leave this summer, despite interest from Serie A side AS Roma .

The Real Madrid manager is said to admire the Brazilian’s attitude, commitment, and personality since joining the first team following a six-month loan spell at Olympique Lyon.
