Brazilian Endrick is going through a difficult period with Real Madrid, amid declining opportunities to participate with the team since the start of the season under the leadership of coach Jose Mourinho, as he has only played four minutes so far.
The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" stated that Endrick's absence from the early matches of the season was part of a plan set by Real Madrid to avoid injuries. However, his return to the team's calculations did not coincide with him getting a real chance to participate.
Mourinho primarily relies on Frenchman Kylian Mbappé as a striker, while Endrick is behind Espi in the coach's calculations, which has made his role within the team very limited at the current time.
Endrick had rejected offers to leave Real Madrid during the pre-season, after receiving assurances from Mourinho about relying on him, whether as a pure striker or on the right wing. However, the situation changed with the start of official competitions, and the player found himself outside the calculations for the starting lineup and even the substitutes most of the time.
With the continuation of his limited participation, Endrick's departure from Real Madrid during the upcoming winter transfer window has become a strongly considered option, especially with the interest of several clubs in acquiring his services.
French club Lyon stands out as one of the most prominent interested parties in re-signing the player on loan, after his name was previously linked with a move to them, along with Roma and Juventus, who are also considering the possibility of moving to sign him during the winter transfer window.
The decision is now in Endrick's hands, who will need to decide his position in the coming period, whether to continue trying to seize an opportunity with Real Madrid or to look for a new experience that gives him more playing time and helps him regain his presence on the field.
