Real Madrid Confidencial Endrick's Future, Seen as Decided, the Few Minutes Have Consequences
The Brazilian footballer is the protagonist of an interesting soap opera in Real Madrid terms.
One of the sagas Real Madrid will have to deal with during the summer of 2025 is the future of Endrick. The verdeamarelo forward arrived in Santiago Bernabéu locker room with the hope of being the second sword to a Kylian Mbappé who had his starting position fully guaranteed since his signing. But the minutes he has played are insufficient.
His low participation during the current soccer season has led to many rumors pointing to his departure from the white team for the next season, a notion that is not welcomed. In the Valdebebas offices, despite Carlo Ancelotti not making Endrick a regular in the rotations, they continue to fully support the young South American forward.
Precisely because they know the situation surrounding the young '16' and the state of the transfer market in these years. The information published by Fabrizio Romano warns that many elite European soccer clubs are looking for promising forwards in the market, but there are hardly any convincing figures for those competitive demands.
Meanwhile, the players who already fit the most desired profiles are firmly committed to some of the best teams on the planet, like Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, or Endrick himself. That's why the board led by Florentino Pérez will insist on Endrick's permanence in the first merengue team for the coming seasons.
They Don't Want Anything to Change
Despite Carlo Ancelotti not having bet on him in most of the matches played this season. While it is true that the Reggiolo coach has given him quite a bit of prominence in the Copa del Rey, where he has proven himself with flying colors, the Taguatinga striker wants more minutes.
For now, the coaching staff hasn't satisfied those constant requests, arguing that he needs "patience" and to trust in his gradual process of integration into the elite European soccer. Many Madridists seem to side with the Carioca striker, as he always provides goals, chances, and spectacle every time he takes the field... regardless of the few minutes he has ahead.
Endrick's "hunger" hasn't diminished. With just 490 minutes played so far this season, Real Madrid's '16' has scored up to 6 goals. That figure, while falling short for any forward, is impressive considering that he only has the final minutes in most of the matches he participates in.
His best statistics, logically, are in the Copa del Rey: he is capable of scoring a goal every 71 minutes. Despite all the data and the impressions he leaves every time he has an opportunity, no matter how small, Endrick's share of minutes doesn't seem to be increasing rapidly. Real Madrid, despite everything, will fight tooth and nail to ensure his permanence in the first team this summer.
