Endrick has committed to remaining at Real Madrid for the first half of the season, but Valencia are already preparing a new attempt to sign the 19-year-old striker on loan in the January transfer window.
According to Defensa Central, the La Liga side tried to secure Endrick’s services this summer but failed to reach an agreement. Despite the setback, the club’s board is determined to make another move once the market reopens in 2026.
Endrick’s current situation at Real Madrid
The Brazilian striker, signed from Palmeiras, has attracted interest from several major European clubs but turned them all down in favor of fighting for a place under Xabi Alonso.
Last season, Endrick scored seven goals in 37 matches for Madrid but has yet to play this campaign due to a hamstring injury. He is expected to return within the next two weeks, aiming to prove his worth in a squad stacked with attacking talent.
Competition for minutes
Securing regular playing time will be Endrick’s biggest challenge. With Kylian Mbappé in top form three goals in three games so far—the Brazilian’s path to the starting lineup is complicated. He also faces competition from rising star Gonzalo García, who impressed in the Club World Cup and is set for more opportunities this season.
Valencia remain interested
Valencia see Endrick as a marquee addition who could strengthen their attack for the second half of the campaign. Real Madrid, however, are in no rush to let him leave, preferring to monitor his recovery and development closely.
