On paper, when you look at the squad, Real Madrid has the best core of youngsters across all of Europe.
There are a number of players still in their early to mid-20s, who will be cornerstone pieces to the club's success for the future seasons to come. Players like Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham, Fede Valverde, Kylian Mbappe and more are expected to remain amongst the best in the world for years to come.
However, if Real Madrid want to compete for every trophy available, Carlo Ancelotti is going to have to rely on some of his squad players to carry the load at times. Especially with the calendar getting even tighter with the new Champions League format.
One player in particular that fans had high hopes for heading into this season is Endrick. But with playing time proving hard to come by, is there a need to reevaluate his situation in the near future?
As reported by AS, Endrick does not rule out a loan exit in the winter transfer window if by then he has had a merely residual presence in the games. His goal is to make a place for himself in the team as soon as possible this lack of minutes, could happen. Therefore, a first assessment of his situation will be made at Christmas, and a second one in the summer.
Endrick arrived from Palmeiras this summer for a fee that could reach upwards of €60 million. Naturally, expectations were high. However, with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe as well, along with the prior presence of Vinicius, Rodrygo, Arda Guler, and Brahim Diaz, and it is not hard to see why the Br azilian wonderkid has struggled to make his mark in the team.
He scored a goal after coming on as a late substitute in the game against Real Valladolid. But that did not cause Ancelotti to hand him more minutes the next game. Endrick was brought off the bench in the 86th minute against Las Palmas in the following match. There were no goalscoring heroics this time around.
With Endrick clearly being down the pecking order, and understandably so, seeing him leave on loan for more minutes elsewhere would not be a problem. That being said, Vinicius and Rodrygo were able to develop without leaving Santiago Bernabeu, even on a temporary basis.
