Brazilian forward is the only outfield player at Valdebebas yet to feature under Alonso
Real Madrid’s Endrick is on the radar of several European clubs as the Brazilian forward continues to wait for his first appearance of the season.
Endrick joined Madrid from Palmeiras in 2024 but has struggled for game time. Last season under Carlo Ancelotti, he had just eight starts in all competitions.
The Brazilian’s lack of playing time is partly down to injuries, especially since the arrival of Xabi Alonso. He sustained a hamstring injury in May that ruled him out of the Club World Cup.
He then suffered a setback in pre-season that extended his time on the sidelines. He is the only outfield player at Valdebebas yet to feature under Alonso.
Several clubs have contacted Madrid to express their interest in the player ahead of the January window, according to ESPN. No formal bids have been made.
Sources close to the club said Endrick has always wanted to remain at Madrid despite his lack of playing time.
Alonso, who monitors the player at Valdebebas, has also praised his abilities and insisted he has a future at the club.
“He scores goals,” said Alonso. “He doesn’t need much opportunity to shoot, and he’s a fantastic finisher. There’s a lot of competition in his position, but his moment will come.”
