Real Madrid on Alert: Endrick Opens the Door to an Exit
The Brazilian forward admits he has no idea what January will bring and makes it clear what he needs to rediscover his best form, despite his strong relationship with José Mourinho.
The future of Endrick at Real Madrid remains uncertain. The Brazilian forward admitted he does not know whether he will stay at the club beyond the January transfer window, although he made it clear that his biggest concern is not finding a new team but getting the playing time he needs to continue developing.
"I don't know what will happen in January. That's all in God's hands," the striker said during a press conference with the Brazil national team in Singapore. Endrick insisted he would approach whatever comes next with patience and focus on making the best decision for his career.
At 20 years old, the Brazilian sees no reason to panic. He feels settled in Madrid, where his family also lives, but understands that regular minutes are essential to fulfilling his potential.
What Endrick Really Wants
Playing time remains the striker's biggest concern. This season, he has managed just 140 minutes across seven competitive appearances, scoring once and starting only one match.
Endrick admitted he misses the feeling he experienced during his loan spell at Olympique Lyonnais, where he enjoyed the opportunities that have been difficult to come by at Real Madrid.
"I just want to play. I just want to be happy, help my teammates, score goals and provide assists," the Brazilian explained, describing his time in France as one of the happiest periods of his life.
However, he also made it clear that he has no intention of rushing into a decision. He believes he still has plenty of time ahead of him and wants to carefully consider whatever opportunities emerge in January.

His Surprising Bond With Mourinho
Despite his limited role on the pitch, Endrick has nothing but praise for José Mourinho. The Brazilian spoke warmly about the Portuguese coach and revealed that their relationship extends well beyond football.
"Every day he comes to see me, talks to me and asks how I am, but it's never about football. It's always about my personal life," Endrick said.
The young forward explained that he particularly appreciates that attention because few coaches have shown such a personal interest in his well-being away from the pitch. He also suggested that Mourinho's support motivates him to work even harder for Real Madrid.
The Portuguese manager has previously expressed his desire to keep Endrick and his belief that the Brazilian can succeed at the club.
January Could Test His Patience
Endrick's comments come amid renewed speculation surrounding a potential departure during the winter transfer window. Clubs such as Roma and AC Milan have been linked with the Brazilian.
His strong relationship with Mourinho could encourage him to stay, but one sporting reality is difficult to ignore: Endrick needs regular minutes and has yet to establish a consistent role at Real Madrid.
For now, the striker is keeping his options open. His priority is to continue working, make the most of every opportunity and allow the coming months to determine his next move.
What Could Determine Endrick's Future?
- His future remains open: The Brazilian has not ruled out a January move, but he has not decided to leave Real Madrid.
- Mourinho remains an important ally: Endrick praised the coach's personal support and the close relationship they have developed.
- Playing time is crucial: After his experience at Lyon, the forward wants to regain the consistency he needs to continue growing.
