According to The Athletic, Real Madrid have abandoned plans to loan Endrik out. The forward will remain with the team until the 2026/27 season. A few days ago, it seemed that a deal with Aston Villa or Roma was a matter of time.
The situation is dramatic: last year, Endrik spent only 88 minutes in half a season in Madrid, after which he went on loan to Lyon, where he showed good form (7 goals, 6 assists in 17 matches) and got to the World Cup with the Brazilian national team. Mourinho personally made the decision to keep the player, although the situation will be reviewed again in January.
📊 A symbolic touch: Real Madrid officially assigned Endrik the number “9” for the new season. This is not given to a player they plan to get rid of, so it seems that Mourinho really counts on the Brazilian.
