Multiple PL clubs want to sign Real Madrid's Endrick on loan, Los Blancos make decision regarding departure - Reports
Many Premier League clubs have reportedly set their sights on Real Madrid's young striker Endrick, as they would like to sign him on loan for the season.
The teenager made the switch from Palmeiras earlier this summer, two years after Madrid signed him. However, he couldn't move at the time, as he was still the age of 18. Now, at the club with his new teammates, the issue of playing time has arisen.
The club see him as a very strong prospect for now and the future, but he may find it difficult to see extensive playing time. That's due to fierce competition for attacking slots in Carlo Ancelotti's team.
Real Madrid have signed Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer. They also have players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo, and Jude Bellingham, all of whom can play in attacking positions.
Hence, two Premier League clubs have reached out to Real Madrid for the possibility of signing Endrick on a loan deal. They would offer playing time at the highest level. But, according to HITC (via GOAL), the Spanish giants will keep Endrick.
Ancelotti is reportedly set to provide him with enough game time to grow and evolve this season. With Real Madrid playing in multiple competitions, the youngster will hope for game time and stake a place in the first team.
Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos speaks about playing time concerns
While Madrid want to keep Endrick for the foreseeable future, the case seems to be different for his teammate, Dani Ceballos. The midfielder could be out of the club this summer after playing only 20 games in La Liga.
However, he revealed that his plan is to stay at the club and get minutes during the coming season, telling Revelo (via Football Espana):
“Minutes are earned on the pitch. 10, 15 or 20 minutes with this shirt is much more than 10 games with another. That’s what Zidane said. The easiest thing is to throw in the towel, but I want to have minutes and succeed here.”
Endrick was a main part of their preseason, suggesting he could play some role in the new season. He's contracted till 2027 at the club.
