A new update from Carrusel Deportivo has stated that although Real Madrid are not planning to push anyone out of the squad this summer, there is a growing feeling within the club that sending young Brazilian star Endrick out on loan could be the best move for his development.
Endrick, who is about to turn 19, needs more minutes to continue growing as a player, especially after a year spent adjusting to European football with limited playing time.
The situation has become more complicated for Endrick because of Gonzalo Garcia’s stunning performances at the FIFA Club World Cup.
The Spanish forward has impressed everyone with his sharp finishing and ability to step up when needed, even filling in when Kylian Mbappe wasn’t available.

The strong form of Gonzalo Garcia means more competition up front, which could limit Endrick’s chances to get the regular minutes he needs.
With Mbappe set to be the first-choice striker under Xabi Alonso, either Endrick or Gonzalo will likely have to leave on loan to get the game time they need to keep developing.
Gonzalo’s ability to also play on the wing gives him more versatility, which Alonso has already used during matches when Mbappe is on the field.
This flexibility tips the balance in Gonzalo’s favour, as he can provide cover in multiple attacking roles. Meanwhile, Endrick’s path looks more complicated.
A loan move, where he would be guaranteed more minutes, might be the ideal solution for him to continue improving and return stronger to fight for a place at Real Madrid in the future.
