Endrick’s journey at Real Madrid was meant to mark the rise of another Brazilian prodigy in Europe but it has instead become a story clouded by injuries, competition and now uncertainty over his Los Blancos future.
The Brazilian joined Madrid in July last year after shining for Palmeiras but the 19-year-old forward now finds himself on the sidelines as several European clubs, including Marseille, prepare to test the Spanish giants’ resolve in January, according to ESPN.
Endrick’s debut season hinted at promise with seven goals across competitions yet a hamstring injury in May disrupted his progress and ruled him out of the Club World Cup.
A second setback in July compounded his frustrations and while others like Gonzalo García have seized their chance under new coach Xabi Alonso, Endrick has remained on the bench, waiting for his moment.
Endrick is yet to future this season with his last match coming against Sevilla in May, a date that now feels distant for a player once billed as Brazil’s next great hope.
Reportedly, Real Madrid may face multiple offers when the transfer window opens with clubs from France, Italy, and Germany monitoring the situation closely.
PSG’s rival Marseille have also expressed interest in a potential move for Los Blancos star.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side, who are currently sitting second in the Ligue 1 table previously came close to signing Dani Ceballos.
Despite that, Endrick and his representatives are reluctant to consider a move, believing he can still earn Alonso’s trust once fully fit.
