The Real Madrid hierarchy is convinced that their Brazilian prodigy Endrick must be allowed to leave on a loan deal in the upcoming winter transfer window. Reports claim that the club has given the green light to offers that would allow him to gain experience away from the Bernabéu.

However, selling the young striker is out of the question as things stand as Real Madrid is certain that the youngster has a lot to offer in the long run. The Los Blancos will let him join a club that can ensure regular time on the pitch for their prized possession.

19-year-old Endrick joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras in his motherland in July 2024 on a six-year deal. However, chances didn't come in plenty for him as manager Carlo Ancelotti had several proven goal scorers to choose from, including his international teammates Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Jr. The arrival of Kylian Mbappé didn't help either as Endrick and Arda Guler were named among the most frustrated players in the Spanish capital under Ancelotti. The teenager has got 37 games in the white shirt so far -- many being second-half substitutions.
Earlier in May, it was reported that Serie A side Juventus were a front-runner to acquire Endrick on a season-long loan. However, the negotiations never happened as Xabi Alonso reportedly wanted to keep him as a backup striker to support Kylian Mbappé when needed. It needs to be seen if Juve are still interested in the Brazilian to make a bid. Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig (Germany), Arsenal and Chelsea (England), and Paris Saint-Germain (France) were also interested in the Brazilian back then.

There are no reasons to believe that the reduced playing time would affect his chances of finding good suitors in January. According to Fichajes, Real Sociedad are interested in acquiring the youngster. Given an opportunity, the Old Lady will also pounce to get the Brazilian, the report added.
