Endrick, one step away from being loaned out: Real Madrid seals the deal with a friendly club

Endrick's situation as a Real Madrid player keeps taking many turns. The Brazilian, despite not playing many minutes last season, was hoping to be more important for Xabi. However, according to information from RMC Sport, Gonzalo's emergence has led Olympique de Marseille to be close to securing Endrick's loan.

The academy product had an astonishing Club World Cup, where he finished as the tournament's top scorer. Despite his inexperience at the elite level, Gonzalo managed to stand up to several of the best teams in the world. Although Endrick couldn't play any minutes due to recovering from his injury, the Brazilian isn't in Xabi Alonso's plans.

According to what we know at Defensa Central, Xabi is much more convinced by Gonzalo García than by Endrick. Although Olympique de Marseille hasn't submitted an offer yet, this is expected soon, ensuring Endrick's continuity for next season.

The change with Endrick

In his debut season with Real Madrid, Endrick managed to show flashes of his great talent. Despite playing less than 1,000 minutes, Endrick scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist. These are quite acceptable numbers for a player who fought for a place in the squad throughout the entire season.

At 18 years old, Endrick has a wide margin to improve and polish his skills. However, given Xabi's stance with Gonzalo, the best thing for Endrick is to leave Real Madrid in order to finish adapting to Europe.

Although Endrick's desire is to stay and succeed at Real Madrid, the club is being much more sensible. For a player with Endrick's abilities, what he needs most for next season is regular playing time.

A well-known destination

Olympique de Marseille is an ideal destination for Endrick, as he can compete in a league dominated by PSG, Real Madrid's rival. The consistency that the French club offers Endrick would also be very helpful ahead of the 2026 World Cup, an unmissable event.
