# Real Madrid pre‑season, Endrick loan talks intensify > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/real-madrid-european-preseason-friendlies > Updated: 2026-08-02T02:50:51.000Z. Sources: 136. Developments: 4. Real Madrid opened its 2026‑27 pre‑season on 1 August with a 2‑2 draw against Fiorentina in Klagenfurt, where Brazilian striker Endrick opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Manager José Mourinho described his squad as “fresh, tired and super‑tired” and singled out Endrick and new signing Denzel Dumfries for their effort. AS Roma’s sporting director Tony D’Amico visited Madrid to discuss a loan move for Endrick, with an option to buy, mirroring the structure used for Nico Paz. Roma’s interest intensified on 2 August, with the club pushing for a deal that would give the 20‑year‑old a versatile role in their upcoming Champions League campaign. Real Madrid has not yet granted permission; the club says Endrick will be evaluated further during the pre‑season before any decision is taken. Mourinho noted the strong competition for attacking places, naming new signings Carlos Espí, Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and others. Endrick’s contract runs until June 2030, and his performance in the friendly could influence the final assessment. The squad continues its tour with matches against Ferencváros in Budapest on 8 August and Schalke 04 later in the schedule. ## Claims - José Mourinho is the head coach of Real Madrid for the 2026‑27 season.
