All signs point to Endrick Felipe’s exit from Real Madrid in 2026, as the Brazilian teenager struggles for opportunities under Xabi Alonso. The 19-year-old was keen to fight for his spot this summer, but it appears that Gonzalo Garcia has jumped ahead of him in the pecking order.
Endrick was linked with a loan exit in the summer, with a number of clubs enquiring about his availability. Los Blancos were supposedly in favour of a loan move so that he could get regular game time, but the Brazil international was reluctant to leave the Santiago Bernabeu. That could be about to change though.
Real Madrid meet with Endrick Felipe’s agents on Thursday
As revealed by El Chiringuito, Real Madrid General Manager Jose Angel Sanchez met with Endrick’s agents on Thursday afternoon to discuss his future, after rumours of plenty of interest in a loan move for him. Sanchez and Real Madrid remain in favour of a loan move, and they say that a decision has been made for Endrick to leave the club in January on loan.
No club in particular has been selected, but they do say that Endrick is not keen on joining another Spanish team, and has no plans to leave Europe, with Palmeiras supposedly open to a reunion.

Endrick’s conditions for a loan move
Despite Real Madrid being in favour of a loan move to another Liga team, it seems that will not be the case. Amongst the conditions laid down by Endrick’s camp is that he joins another major side, that are competing at a good level in their league, and are involved in European competition, either in the EUropea League or Champions League.
That is corroborated by ESPN (via Marca), who say that a move to Real Sociedad was considered and then ruled out. The lucky team in question are also required to have an offensive style of play.
Potential fits for Endrick
Of the teams credited with interest in Endrick, it would seem Valencia would also be ruled out along with La Real. Given their struggles of late, West Ham United would appear to be off the table, as would Brighton and Manchester United due to a lack of European competition. Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Juventus and Olympique Marseille could all fit the description, although the former less so with Unai Emrery often playing on the counter.
