Marseille Express Renewed Interest in Madrid Talent

Marseille, having come close to securing midfielder Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid on loan during the summer transfer window, have turned their attention to another emerging star at the Spanish club. The French side are now amongst several teams showing interest in Endrick, who has yet to make his debut under Xabi Alonso’s management following his recovery from injury last month.

Status of Endrick at Real Madrid

The 19-year-old forward is one of three Real Madrid squad members yet to feature in a match this season, alongside goalkeeper Andriy Lunin and left-back Ferland Mendy, who only rejoined full training this week. Despite being named on the bench against Espanyol on 20 September, Endrick remained an unused substitute in subsequent fixtures against Levante, Atlético Madrid, Kairat Almaty, and Villarreal.

Transfer Prospects and Future Considerations

Sources close to SportingPedia indicate that Marseille have made an approach regarding a potential January loan deal for Endrick. Sources close to Endrick have indicated there is no urgency to reach a decision at present, with a preference for reassessing the situation over the next two months leading up to Christmas.

Endrick’s role at Real Madrid could also be influenced by the emergence of Gonzalo García during the Club World Cup, with competition for playing time likely to impact the development opportunities afforded to both players during the remainder of the season.
