Real Madrid weighs Endrick loan to free up attacking roster

Real Madrid is assessing the possibility of loaning Brazilian striker Endrick ahead of the 2026‑27 season. Club officials plan to use the pre‑season period, ending with Endrick’s re‑registration on 28 July, to evaluate his performance alongside fellow youngster Gonzalo García. Manager José Mourinho intends to decide which forward will remain in the squad, aiming to streamline the attacking line before pursuing additional signings.

Reports from several Brazilian outlets cite ESPN and other sources that the loan would create space for high‑profile acquisitions such as Michael Olise. Endrick, who spent the previous season on loan at Olympique Lyon and contributed to Brazil’s World Cup squad, reportedly prefers to stay and earn minutes with the senior team, despite the club’s intention to possibly loan him out again.
