Real Madrid had a brilliant summer transfer window. They strengthened for the future with two huge transfers - Endrick and Kylian Mbappe being signed. Of the two, only Kylian Mbappe has played competitive minutes for Real Madrid. He started both the UEFA Super Cup and the opening La Liga fixture.
Whereas, Endrick was an unused substitute in both of Real Madrid's opening fixtures. Despite playing for Real Madrid in pre-season, the Brazil international has been left on the bench, forcing to watch on. He probably felt like he could've made a difference in the draw against Mallorca, when his side lacked any attacking purpose and dropped points.
Well, Endrick's frustrations have already become clear, as he is considering an early exit.
Real Madrid star considers surprisingly early transfer exit
According to a report from Sport, Endrick could ask for a loan exit in January, if he continues to rot away on the bench. Despite being warned about finding it difficult under Carlo Ancelotti's strict regime, the Brazil player is now starting to have doubts. Perhaps a loan move would be best for him to develop into a more likely option under the Italian coach.
Endrick is certainly a gem. Otherwise, Real Madrid would not have spent money to bring him to Europe. Florentino Perez is very careful and strategic about where Real Madrid invest money, so the club certainly sees something in the Brazilian wonderkid. However, making his breakthrough is not easy, when the likes of Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler are ahead of him, despite still struggling for minutes themselves.
A familiar tale is beginning to unravel itself to Real Madrid fans. The same happened to Arda Guler last year. In fact, it took him until the end of the season to be given a consistent run of fixtures to prove himself. The truth is that Carlo Ancelotti values experience, particularly during important stages of the season. So, Endrick may have to be patient, or seek external clubs to prove himself.
Do you think Endrick will get consistent game-time under Carlo Ancelotti?
