Real Madrid considering another January exit for Endrick

Real Madrid considering another January exit for Endrick The start of the 2026-27 campaign has been difficult for Endrick, who had hoped for a transformative year at Real Madrid. The 20-year-old was struck down by injury in the final days of pre-season, but despite receiving the medical green light last week , he is still waiting on his first appearance under Jose Mourinho. After falling down the pecking order under Xabi Alonso last season, Endrick was loaned out to Lyon in January. He was in top form in France, and he would’ve hoped this would be enough to turn things around for him at the Bernabeu – but so far, this has not been the case. Endrick has a number of players ahead of him in the attacking pecking order, and thus, his minutes could be limited over the coming months. If that comes to fruition, there is a good chance that he leaves on loan for the second winter transfer window in a row, as reported by The Athletic . Real Madrid will re-assess Endrick’s situation by January In the summer, it was decided that Endrick would not be allowed to leave , with Mourinho counting on him as one more in his squad. However, he cannot afford to go through a similar situation to last season, as his development will stagnate – Real Madrid will be desperate to avoid this, which is why the plan is for his situation to be re-assessed in the lead-up to the winter transfer window. Right now, it is hard to see where Endrick will get consistent minutes. Kylian Mbappe and Carlos Espi are ahead of him at striker, while Arda Guler has been particularly impressive on the right wing, where he will also be competing against Yan Diomande and Brahim Diaz. Simply put, his chances of playing are low, which is why another loan move in January could be on the cards.
