Endrick is more likely to stay at Real Madrid than leave on loan this season, multiple sources have told ESPN. The Brazil forward, 20, spent the second half of last season on loan at Lyon and has been in demand this transfer window. However, sources said he is keen to stay in Madrid, with the upcoming birth of his first child in October a major factor.

Madrid let young forward Gonzalo García join Fulham this summer and signed Carlos Espí from Levante, but sources said the latter's arrival will not affect Endrick's future. Despite his preference to remain, another loan cannot be ruled out. If he departs, a move to the Premier League would be a priority.

If Madrid opt for a move, they would consider a loan with a purchase option while retaining a percentage of the player's rights, though a final decision is pending. Endrick has impressed in preseason, scoring in a 2-2 friendly draw against Fiorentina. He has been linked with Roma and Aston Villa, but Madrid has received no formal offer, and sources close to the player denied holding talks with other clubs. He received the number nine shirt in Madrid's provisional squad for 2026-27.
