What's next for Endrick?
While securing a regular spot in the starting lineup may be challenging with Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, and Mbappe ahead of him, Endrick’s goal could prove pivotal in earning more playing time under Ancelotti’s guidance.
Real Madrid’s next challenge for the 18-year-old and his teammates will be an away match against Las Palmas on Thursday, 29 August, per Sofascore.
The young Brazilian will be eager to build on this promising start and showcase his potential.
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.
