Real Madrid Confidencial Top European club knocks on Endrick's door, he would be a starter and Ancelotti smiles
Sporting de Lisboa is looking for a replacement for Gyökeres, and they want to loan Endrick this season
Endrick's future continues to generate interest in Europe. Although he hasn't officially debuted with Real Madrid yet, his name is already on the agenda of several clubs.
One of the most persistent is Sporting Portugal. The Lisbon side has sent a proposal to Santiago Bernabéu that hasn't gone unnoticed.
The reason is clear: Viktor Gyökeres will leave this summer and Sporting is looking for a new striker to take on the offensive leadership. Their target is Endrick.
A loan with advantages for everyone and for Brazil
Sporting's idea is to bring in the young Brazilian on loan. The club would cover most, or even all, of his salary.
But that's not all. The Portuguese are willing to include in the deal a purchase priority on two of their top defensive talents: Gonçalo Inácio and Ousmane Diomandé.
Both center-backs have been closely monitored by Real Madrid's sporting management in recent months. The deal, therefore, could be doubly beneficial.
Carlo Ancelotti, current coach of Brazil, is keeping a close eye on the development of his future players. Endrick is one of them.
A loan to a club like Sporting, where he'd be a starter from day one, would allow the Italian coach to watch a striker grow who could be key in his new project with the "Canarinha".
In other words, Ancelotti smiles not only because of what this deal means for Madrid, but also for what it means for Brazil: more minutes and a bigger role for a selectable talent.
Endrick listens, but he doesn't see it clearly
From the player's camp, the priority remains to succeed at Real Madrid. Endrick doesn't want to leave, but he understands that the competition with Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Vinícius is fierce.
Xabi Alonso is counting on him, but a strategic loan isn't ruled out if it guarantees minutes and speeds up his adaptation to European soccer.
Florentino Pérez is considering all the variables. Sporting offers continuity, visibility, and a market opportunity. The decision will be made in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Ancelotti is watching. Because not only would Madrid benefit from this move. Brazil would as well.
