Florentino Perez places high hopes on Endrick, yet it appears Carlo Ancelotti holds a different view of the young star.
The president of Real Madrid secured an agreement for the Brazilian striker, which could reach 72 million euros, even before he turned 18. Although he's in Madrid now, his presence seems unnoticed. Ancelotti lacks trust in him, but Endrick has apparently already decided on his future steps.
According to OKDiario, Endrick appears to have already lost Ancelotti's trust, and everyone at Real Madrid, including Perez, is aware of it. The most likely option at present seems to be a loan move for the Brazilian. Perez believes that being so young, Endrick can't afford nearly two consecutive seasons without play, prompting a loan deal around 2025.
Within Real Madrid, the future of Endrick is contingent on whether Ancelotti remains at the club. If Ancelotti continues next season, the plan is for the Brazilian to go on loan to gain playing time. What is not considered is a move in January, as he is expected to complete the full season at Santiago Bernabeu.
Perez's faith in Endrick remains unwavering, just as when he first bought him. He sees Endrick as a forward for the future, but to prove it, playtime is necessary.
Currently, Endrick doesn't get significant playing time under Ancelotti. If circumstances remain unchanged into the next season and Ancelotti adheres to his contract until 2026, the young player might need a loan. Being sidelined for another year isn't an option; he needs match experience.
Real Madrid's plans for the upcoming season lack clarity. Should Ancelotti manage to turn things around, he will continue with his contract.
If this transpires, all signs point to a loan for the young Brazilian, and it's clear there’s no shortage of clubs interested, despite his limited playtime at Real.
Several teams across Europe have already shown interest in negotiating a winter loan for Endrick, although this is currently off the table. Perez's preference is for him to stay within a Spanish team, should Ancelotti continue and a loan becomes necessary. The goal is for Endrick to complete his adaptation to the country and league with a year of significant playtime.
Moreover, a transfer within Spain could assist Endrick in meeting residency requirements needed for dual citizenship, enabling him to lose his non-EU status, which is crucial for Real Madrid.
The 18-year-old, so far this season, has participated in 10 La Liga matches, registering one goal and one assist but only spent 60 minutes on the field. In the Champions League, he played 78 minutes across three matches, scoring once.
