Real Madrid star opens the door to January exit

1

Real Madrid star Endrick has admitted that he has not yet ruled out the possibility of departing Spain’s capital on loan during the winter transfer window.

This comes amid a fresh round of speculation surrounding the name of the Brazilian international.

Frontman Endrick has reemerged as a prominent figure in the transfer chatter across much of Europe over the last 24 hours. Amid a search for mid-season reinforcements up top, Premier League champions Arsenal are understood to have earmarked the 20-year-old as a potential loan signing.

Endrick has continued to struggle for game-time at Real Madrid this season, despite being repeatedly backed by manager José Mourinho in public.

Speaking during an exchange with the media on Tuesday, the young attacker was himself therefore drawn on the prospect of a 2nd successive winter loan move.

And Endrick, as cited by Fabrizio Romano, went on to inform Brazilian journalist Cahê Mota:

“I’m only 20, so I’ll see how things unfold. I just want to play, be happy, and help my teammates.

“I don’t know what will happen in January; that’s in God’s hands. I only ask for what’s best for my career. Whatever is meant to happen, will happen. I’ll keep my feet on the ground and continue doing my absolute best. Madrid is a wonderful city, but I will always do whatever it takes to advance my career.”
