Endrick is back in the spotlight because of his situation at Real Madrid. The Brazilian forward, away with his national team, has spoken openly about his lack of continuity, the internal competition and a future that is not entirely closed off ahead of the next transfer window.

The striker has gone from arriving at the previous FIFA window with just four minutes to his name this season to already racking up 140, with more significant appearances such as the comeback against Roma in the Champions League. Even so, his role remains limited: he has played seven matches, only one as a starter, and scored one goal.

Endrick has made it clear that his priority is to play and develop, but without forcing a decision. The Brazilian accepts that he is young and does not need to rush his career, an idea he summed up with a metaphor when he said he is not going to throw himself off a cliff. In other words, he will not leave at any price just to pick up minutes.

The situation is not straightforward. Although he can operate out wide, the main competition for a place in the Madrid attack comes from Kylian Mbappé. Endrick recognises the Frenchman's stature and understands that opportunities at Real Madrid may be limited, so he is trying to make the most of every spell he gets, whether that means a few minutes or longer outings such as against Roma or AEK Athens.

The market is open, but no break yet

According to reports published in Brazil, clubs such as Roma and Milan had already shown interest in Endrick at the start of the window. However, the player himself has explained that he does not know what will happen in January and that he will make his decision with what is best for his career in mind.

In that context, the figure of Mourinho emerges as an important factor in his future. The coach, according to the player's account, gives him confidence on a daily basis and maintains a close relationship that Endrick values highly. In addition, the manager is said to have already told him that an immediate exit is not part of his plans.
