Is Endrick considering a loan move?

Earlier, Briefly News reported that Endrick is considering a January loan move from Real Madrid to gain more playing time and continue his development.

Despite joining the club this summer, Endrick's debut seems distant. Carlo Ancelotti has a plethora of attacking options, even though Endrick is the sole natural striker in the squad.

If his situation doesn’t change by the end of the year, Endrick may look into loan opportunities during the winter transfer window.
