Florentino Perez has high hopes for Endrick, but Carlo Ancelotti seems to have a different view of the young star.
The Real Madrid president sealed a deal that could reach 72 million euros for the Brazilian forward, who is yet to turn 18. While Endrick is currently in Madrid, he doesn't appear to have Ancelotti's trust. However, he reportedly has plans for his future.
According to the publication OKDiario, Endrick has already lost Ancelotti's confidence, a fact known throughout Real Madrid, including by Perez. Currently, the most likely scenario points towards a loan move for the young Brazilian. Perez believes that, given his age, Endrick cannot afford not to play for two consecutive seasons, and plans to find a loan opportunity for him in 2025.
Real Madrid's plans for Endrick are clear: his future hinges on whether Ancelotti stays. If Ancelotti continues next season, the intention is for Endrick to be loaned out to get more playtime. A move in January is off the table, as the idea is for him to complete the entire season at Santiago Bernabeu.
Perez's belief in Endrick remains as strong as when he first signed him. He sees Endrick as a striker of the future, though he needs to gain playing time to prove it.
Currently, Endrick is not getting enough minutes under Ancelotti. If the situation remains unchanged into the next season and the Italian fulfills his contract until 2026, Endrick is set to be loaned out. Another year without play is not feasible; he needs game time.
Real Madrid's future strategy isn't entirely clear. If Ancelotti manages to reverse the situation, he will continue to honor his contract.
Should this happen, Endrick will likely head out on loan. There are many clubs interested in him despite his limited play at Real Madrid.
Endrick has already attracted interest from several European teams for a potential loan this winter, though this option has been ruled out. Perez's wish is for Endrick, should Ancelotti continue, to remain within Spain. The intention is for him to acclimate to the country and league, gaining valuable minutes and experience.
Additionally, a transfer within Spain would help Endrick complete the necessary residency days required for dual citizenship, removing his non-EU status, which is crucial for Real Madrid.
This 18-year-old has so far made 10 appearances in La Liga this season, scoring once and providing one assist, spending a total of 60 minutes on the pitch. In the Champions League, he has played 78 minutes across three appearances, netting one goal.
