Endrick on the Tightrope and Real Madrid Watches Europe's Top Scorer
Endrick couldn't score in the Cup and Real Madrid is already looking at other possibilities in the European market
The night in Cartagena was very pleasant for Real Madrid. However, very complicated for Endrick who hasn't managed to find his place. The player, who tried several times, couldn't find the net against Deportiva Minera.
Both he and Carlo Ancelotti showed visible signs of frustration at certain actions executed by the center-forward. Endrick appeared overwhelmed in certain aspects, with palpable nervousness and a desire to score that got the better of him. In fact, his situation is concerning at Real Madrid, who are already looking at other market options.
"He's played a good game. Scoring goals are details. He's moved well on the field, he's had opportunities," explained Ancelotti when asked about Endrick.
"His movement is effective, he hasn't scored because he lacked some precision, but his game was good. He'll score the goals when we need them," the Italian added.
A replacement for Endrick?
Since the match against Lille, where he was a starter, Endrick has completely changed his relationship with scoring. Moreover, it seems the player doesn't have Carlo Ancelotti's confidence for the more complex matches, so he's always in the background.
Meanwhile, at Real Madrid they're still keeping an eye on the trending scorer in Europe. According to reports from Germany, the white team has thoroughly observed Viktor Gyökeres. The Swede, who is a goal-scoring machine, started the year 2025 with three goals in the four-all draw of the Lisbon team.
Clashes with Endrick's moment
His possible arrival completely clashes with the form Endrick is experiencing. The Brazilian can't score, and the Swede is scoring in every match. Moreover, Viktor Gyökeres is a box striker that Real Madrid lost with the departure of Joselu Mato.
Of course, we're talking about a player sought after by half of Europe and who is already being linked with all kinds of teams. However, Real Madrid is closely monitoring his performances and, depending on Endrick's level, the offer could end up coming sooner or later.
