Real Madrid confirms Endrick will remain, ends loan speculation

Brazilian forward Endrick, 19, will stay at Real Madrid for the upcoming season under coach José Mourinho, with the club ruling out any further loan moves. After a six‑month loan to Lyon in Ligue 1, where he made 21 appearances, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists, both the player and the Spanish side agreed that he is ready to compete for a first‑team place.

Mourinho expects Endrick’s physical strength and direct running to add a different option to the attack, where he will face competition from Brahim Díaz and other forwards. Rodrygo is also expected to return later in the season after recovering from injury, further intensifying the fight for playing time.
