Endrick’s Real Madrid Future in Doubt as Rayo Vallecano Pushes for Loan Deal
As Real Madrid gears up for a highly competitive season with a revamped attacking lineup, questions loom over the short-term future of young Brazilian forward Endrick. Despite moments of promise, the 19-year-old may be on the move this summer, with Rayo Vallecano reportedly keen to bring him in on loan.
🔁 Crowded Frontline at the Bernabéu
The blockbuster signing of Kylian Mbappé and the emergence of Gonzalo have made it more difficult for Endrick to secure regular minutes. According to Defensa Central, Rayo Vallecano has already made a formal approach, signaling serious interest in offering the youngster a temporary home at Vallecas.
A loan move would not signal the end of Endrick’s Real Madrid journey but rather offer valuable experience in LaLiga, helping him adapt and develop through consistent game time.
⚡ A Chance to Shine at Vallecas?
Rayo sees Endrick as a crucial piece to strengthen their attack and believes that under the right guidance, he could flourish into a top-tier forward. Despite limited opportunities last season under Carlo Ancelotti, Endrick still managed to impress — scoring seven goals in under 850 minutes.
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is reportedly open to a loan arrangement, provided it supports Endrick’s long-term development. The club remains fully committed to his future but acknowledges the need for regular minutes at this stage of his career.
🧠 Xabi Alonso’s Decision Looms
With Xabi Alonso now in charge, the final call on Endrick’s role will be his to make. While Alonso has shown faith in Gonzalo — especially during the Club World Cup — Endrick’s status in the current squad is still being assessed.
If Alonso sees him as integral to the season ahead, Endrick could stay and compete for playing time. If not, a move to Rayo — or potentially another LaLiga side — might offer the best route forward.
For now, Real Madrid has yet to make an official decision, but clarity is expected before the transfer window closes.
