Real Madrid Ready to Loan Out Star Forward Previously Deemed Untouchable

Reports suggest that Real Madrid are considering loaning out 18-year-old Endrick for the upcoming season.

Back in 2022, when Real Madrid secured the signature of a Brazilian prodigy hailed as the "next Pelé," the club appeared to have discovered their future superstar. Endrick, merely 16 at that time, committed to joining the world's most prestigious club upon reaching the appropriate age.

The forward joined Real Madrid before the 2024–25 campaign with enormous expectations surrounding him. This was understandable given that Endrick had netted 21 goals during his two-year stint at Palmeiras.

However, his inaugural season wearing the famous white jersey proved to be somewhat underwhelming. While Endrick did have memorable moments, such as scoring on his La Liga and Champions League debuts and delivering crucial performances in the Copa del Rey, he primarily remained on the substitutes' bench or made brief appearances in matches that were already settled.

To prevent a similar situation from occurring next season, Los Blancos are allegedly willing to consider a loan arrangement for Endrick. Based on reports from SPORT, Real Madrid believe the "perfect solution" for the young player, whom they consider "non-transferable," would be regular playing time at a Champions League-qualified team.

This consideration follows Gonzalo García's impressive showing during this summer's Club World Cup. The Real Madrid Castilla graduate has contributed a goal or assist in all five of his appearances under Xabi Alonso and has essentially secured the backup striker position going forward.

Consequently, Endrick would probably drop further down the pecking order and struggle to accumulate the playing time necessary for his development. The Brazilian possesses undeniable raw ability, but he needs opportunities to mature into a more complete player before he can genuinely compete for a place in Real Madrid's starting lineup.
