The Brazilian forward was remarkably honest about his current situation at Real Madrid. He has played just 140 minutes so far this season, and a January departure from the club has not been ruled out. Endrick also expressed his appreciation for the support José Mourinho gives him on a daily basis.
Endrick is one of 18 Real Madrid players currently away from the Valdebebas training complex. Los Blancos are among the European teams with the highest number of players called up for the final international break of 2026. The Brazilian attacker spoke in recent hours about his situation in the Spanish capital and the possibility of leaving the club during the January transfer window.
So far this season, the left-footed forward has played just 140 minutes across all competitions. He has scored one goal in a series of appearances, with his standout moment coming during the comeback victory against Roma in a UEFA Champions League fixture. His situation is similar to the one he experienced last season, which eventually led to a loan move to Lyon for the second half of the campaign.
"I'm only 20 years old, so I'll see how things develop. I just want to play, be happy and help my teammates. I don't know what will happen in January; that's in God's hands. I just pray for the best for my career. Whatever is meant to happen will happen. I'll keep my feet on the ground and continue giving my best. Madrid is a wonderful city, but I'll always do whatever is necessary to move forward in my career”, Endrick said regarding his current situation at Real Madrid.
We are talking about one of Real Madrid's biggest investments in recent transfer windows. He is also an immensely talented footballer who has not received the same opportunities as some of his teammates. Endrick wants to stay at Real Madrid, but he is certainly not ruling out having to consider other options.
Despite his lack of playing time under José Mourinho, the Brazilian forward took the opportunity to thank the Portuguese manager in recent hours. He understands the intense competition for a starting place at Real Madrid and spoke warmly about a coach who has always had positive things to say about him.
"He comes to see me every day and asks how I'm doing, but never about football. He always talks about my personal life. I really appreciate that. He's one of the first coaches to arrive, greet me and welcome me so warmly. I'm very grateful to him. I'll always give everything for Real Madrid, which comes above everything else, but with Mourinho's affection and support, I give even more”, further comments from Endrick, whose statements have raised concerns in the Spanish capital.
Throughout the summer, Real Madrid received offers from Italian and English clubs for Endrick. The expectation is that the same situation will arise during the January transfer window, when the Brazilian forward will once again have to decide between being part of José Mourinho's project or seeking regular playing time to continue developing in European football. Discussions about his future are already taking place inside the Valdebebas training complex.
