Real Madrid youngster’s agent shuts down January exit rumours: ‘Everything being said is completely false’

Real Madrid youngster’s agent shuts down January exit rumours: ‘Everything being said is completely false’ Endrick’s future at Real Madrid has been the subject of growing speculation, with questions continuing to surround the Brazilian forward’s role at the Santiago Bernabeu. After all, the 20-year-old centre-forward finds himself behind Kylian Mbappe and summer signing Carlos Espi in the pecking order under Jose Mourinho. While he can also play on the right flank, there is serious competition in that position as well with Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, and Yan Diomande all ahead. As such, recent reports media have suggested that the youngster could leave the club, either on a permanent transfer or a loan, in search of more regular playing time. There have also been suggestions of unrest between the player and the staff. Amidst all this, links with several top clubs across Europe, including Premier League champions Arsenal, have surfaced . Endrick’s future has been called into question.

Endrick has not asked to leave Indeed, Thiago Freitas, Endrick’s agent, has spoken to 365Scores to clarify the reports surrounding his client’s future. Freitas categorically denied the claims and confirmed that Endrick has not asked to leave Real Madrid and has no current desire to look for another club. “Endrick has not asked to leave the club and has never told me that he wants to look for another opportunity to play,” Freitas said, as quoted by AS. “Everything that is being said about this is completely false and nothing like that has happened,” the Brazilian international’s agent added. The comments provide a clear response to the growing speculation surrounding the Brazilian’s situation. Endrick focused on Real Madrid.

Having endured a difficult initiation under Carlo Ancelotti and then struggling for prominence under Xabi Alonso, Endrick spent the second half of the last season at Lyon, where he excelled. Since returning to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer, the young attacker has had some physical issues which have hampered him from gaining prominence. But manager Mourinho, who blocked the player’s summer exit , is understood to count on him. And, for now, according to his agent, Endrick’s focus remains firmly on Real Madrid rather than finding a way out of the club.
