Staying Put: Mourinho Blocks Loan Departure for Real Madrid Prodigy

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has made a firm decision regarding the immediate future of Brazilian forward Endrick, expressing a clear desire to keep the youngster at the Santiago Bernabéu for the 2026/27 campaign.

Speculation surrounding the 20-year-old’s future has mounted throughout the summer window. Despite an impressive loan spell in France with Lyon last season, rumors suggested another temporary exit was on the cards—chatter that only intensified following Madrid’s recent signing of Levante striker Carlos Espí.

However, Endrick has remained steadfast in his desire to stay in Spain and fight for a role under Mourinho. According to Real Madrid insider Sergio Valentín, that determination has paid off:

“Mourinho doesn’t see Endrick as spare. Mourinho greatly values his effort. Endrick, willing to convince the coach to earn a spot. Real Madrid turns down proposals from Italy and only a major offer would change the outlook.”

With proposals from Serie A already rebuffed, Madrid intend to keep the young international in the squad unless an irresistible offer materializes before the deadline.
