Real Madrid prodigy considering summer talks with the club over lack of playing time | OneFootball

Real Madrid forward Endrick is not planning to leave the club in January, despite limited playing time since his arrival.

According to a report from Mario Cortegana in The Athletic, the young Brazilian is willing to wait and see how his situation unfolds over the season.

However, he is expected to hold talks with the club in the summer if his opportunities on the pitch do not improve.

So far, Endrick has only managed to clock 250 minutes of game time, which is significantly less than what he might have hoped for.

Real Madrid have reportedly urged him to remain patient, reminding him of the developmental paths taken by his compatriots Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.

It has been noted that Endrick has already played 15 matches by December this season, which is more than Vinicius (10) and Rodrygo (14) during the same stage of their debut campaigns.

He needs to wait for his chance

With established stars like Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Kylian Mbappe in the squad, it has been challenging for the 18-year-old to secure a spot in the starting XI.

While he has displayed flashes of his potential, such as his goal against Stuttgart earlier this season, consistency has been an issue.

Could not score against Deportiva Minera

This was evident in Real Madrid’s recent Copa del Rey match against Deportiva Minera, where Endrick led the attack but failed to capitalise on several opportunities to score.

Despite the team’s dominant 5-0 victory, he struggled to deliver the final product, which may hurt his chances of featuring more prominently in the second half of the season.

As the season progresses and the schedule becomes busier, it appears unlikely that Endrick will see an increase in the starting role, especially after missing a crucial opportunity to impress.

For now, the young forward will have to make peace with his bench role. However, it is clear that he will discuss his future with the club at the end of the season if his situation does not improve.
