Seeking Consistent Playing Time
Brazilian international Endrick has expressed his desire for consistent minutes on the pitch, stating he is ready to pursue opportunities either at Real Madrid or elsewhere — echoing his successful spell at Lyon last season. The forward, currently in Singapore ahead of Brazil’s friendly against Japan on Saturday, addressed his future as speculation mounts over another possible loan when the January transfer window opens.
🚨 Endrick on January window: “I’m only 20, so I’ll see how things unfold. I just want to play, be happy, and help my teammates”.
“I don’t know what will happen in January; that’s in God’s hands. I only ask for what’s best for my career. Whatever is meant to happen, will happen. I’ll keep my feet on the ground and continue doing my absolute best. Madrid is a wonderful city, but I will always do whatever it takes to advance my career”, says via @cahemota.

Impressive Loan Spell at Lyon
In the previous campaign, the 20-year-old enjoyed a productive period on loan at Lyon in Ligue 1. Across 21 matches, Endrick netted eight goals and provided eight assists, quickly establishing his value to the French club. His impact in France was instrumental in securing him a place in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s World Cup squad.
| Club | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lyon (Loan, 2025/26 – Second Half) | 21 | 8 | 8 |
| Real Madrid (2026/27) | 7 | 1 | 0 |
Competition and Injury Setbacks at Real Madrid
Since returning to Real Madrid, Endrick has found consistent playing time elusive. He has made just seven appearances in all competitions this season, amassing only 141 minutes and managing a solitary goal. The Brazilian’s development was also hindered by an injury at the beginning of the campaign.
With fierce competition from high-profile teammates, including one of the world’s best in Kylian Mbappe, Endrick faces a significant challenge to secure a regular starting role under Jose Mourinho.
Player’s Perspective
“I don’t know what will happen in January, all I ask for is that it is the best thing for my career,” he said from Singapore.
“I’m very young… I’m still 20 and I’ll see what happens. I just want to play, to be happy, to help my teammates, score goals, provide assists, as I was able to do at Lyon, which was one of the best things that happened to me in my life.”
“It’s an opportunity to be at Real Madrid, but I know that there, in my position, there is one of the best players in the world, Kylian Mbappe,” he added.
