Endrick faces lack of playing time at Real Madrid

Brazilian forward Endrick has struggled to secure playing time at Real Madrid during the start of the 2026/27 season. Despite a successful loan spell at Olympique Lyonnais last season, the player has yet to appear on the pitch in La Liga or the Champions League.

His absence is attributed to muscular injuries and intense competition within the squad. Endrick currently finds himself behind Kylian Mbappé and Carlos Espí in the attacking rotation. Additionally, competition on the right flank from players like Arda Güler, Yan Diomandé, and Brahim Diaz has limited his opportunities.

Due to the lack of minutes, rumors are already circulating regarding a potential loan move during the winter transfer window to allow the player to gain more experience. Some reports also highlight concerns regarding the club's sporting direction following high expenditures on players who have yet to meet expectations.
