Endrick leaves door open to January Real Madrid exit

Brazilian striker Endrick has kept open the possibility of leaving Real Madrid in the upcoming winter transfer window, explaining that his desire for more opportunities to play regularly will be among the factors he considers. He said no decision about his future in January has been made yet and that his priority is to choose what best serves his career.

Endrick said he was looking forward to returning to action and helping his teammates by scoring and creating goals. He recalled his time at Lyon as one of the best periods of his career and said the loan spell helped him reach Brazil’s senior national team; while in the French league, he scored eight goals and assisted as many.

He acknowledged the difficulty of competing for a place in Real Madrid’s attack, pointing to Kylian Mbappé, but said he was proud to be at the club despite his limited playing time. He added that an injury at the start of the season reduced his minutes in La Liga and the Champions League, and praised his relationship with his coach, José Mourinho, and the attention he pays to players’ personal lives.

Endrick is with Brazil’s national team in Singapore, where they are preparing to face Japan in a friendly on Saturday. The team will conclude its Asian tour with a match against Singapore three days later.
