Real Madrid is enjoying a strong period under Xabi Alonso, continuing their winning streak and maintaining their lead at the top of the table. However, inside the dressing room, there is a concerning issue surrounding one of the club’s brightest young talents. Endrick, the Brazilian striker who was expected to have a promising future, finds himself stuck on the bench despite a significant investment.
Endrick arrived at the Santiago Bernabéu this summer in a massive €72 million deal, becoming one of the most promising talents in world football. Everyone expected him to play a key role in Xabi Alonso’s plans, but the reality has been completely different. Since the start of the season, Endrick has not been given a single minute of first-team football.

Xabi Alonso believes the Brazilian needs more maturity and time and that he is not yet ready to compete in a star-studded team like Real Madrid. Instead of giving Endrick a chance, Alonso has prioritized Gonzalo Garcia as a potential replacement for Mbappé, a decision that clearly demonstrates his preference for the other young player.
However, matters became more complicated after an incident in the recent Getafe match, when Endrick reacted angrily upon learning he would not be playing, kicking a bottle on the touchline. This angered Xabi Alonso, who dislikes the behavior of arrogant players. This situation has not helped improve Endrick’s position, as he remains sidelined from the starting lineup.
The current situation suggests that Endrick’s future at Real Madrid may be in jeopardy. He is unlikely to feature in important matches such as El Clásico or the match against Juventus, and opinions are growing that he should leave the club, either on loan or permanently, if the situation persists.
According to sources close to the club, Real Madrid has already started considering the possibility of loaning out Endrick during the upcoming winter transfer window. The club is exploring options in La Liga and the Premier League, where other clubs are reportedly interested in acquiring his services. Endrick himself is not opposed to this idea, fully aware that he needs playing time to gain experience and adapt to European football.
For the Brazilian player, a loan move appears to be the best option for the immediate future, allowing him to gain regular playing time, which will help him prepare for the 2026 World Cup with the Brazilian national team. Ultimately, Endrick aspires to perform at a high level, even if it’s off the bench at Real Madrid.
