<p>The Brazilian wonderkid completed a big-money transfer to Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2024, having passed his 18th birthday. There were <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-real-madrid-delaying-endrick-iconic-9-shirt/bltb3e61c927c61d900" target="_blank">high hopes for the talented forward&nbsp;</a>in the Spanish capital.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fierce competition for places - as he sat behind the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior in the attacking pecking order - restricted Endrick to just three La Liga starts during his debut campaign with the Blancos.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He managed only seven goals across all competitions, leading to suggestions that a loan move could be sanctioned in order to get the regular game time that his ongoing development needs.</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://www.cope.es/programas/el-partidazo-de-cope/audios/endrick-tenia-cerrada-cesion-real-sociedad-mundial-clubes-lesion-paro-20250805_3195096.html " target="_blank"><em>Cadena Cope</em></a> a deal had been struck with Real Sociedad, with said agreement “days away” from being processed. Endrick then <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/another-brutal-blow-endrick-real-madrid-teenager-injury-relapse-transfer/bltfb73b699bdbdde4d" target="_blank">suffered a relapse of his hamstring injury</a> at the FIFA Club World Cup and is expected to be out until late September or early October.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Real must now decide whether they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/endrick-gonzalo-garcia-real-madrid-legend-xabi-alonso-which-forward-los-blancos/blt29a18c7d7ceef260" target="_blank">sanction a similar switch for Gonzalo Garcia</a>, after seeing him impress at the Club World Cup, or wait until January before readdressing Endrick’s future - with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-prepared-to-sell-five-first-team-stars-including-rodrygo-out-under-xabi-alonso/blt44cab3ac77cd5ecf" target="_blank">Xabi Alonso eager to trim his squad</a> and keep everybody happy.</p>
