Real Madrid consider youngster ‘untouchable’ and a long-term solution for key position | OneFootball

According to a report from journalist Jorge Picon (h/t Madrid Xtra), Real Madrid have firmly closed the door on any potential departure for Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, making it crystal clear that the teenager is untouchable.

The journalist mentions that despite interest from several European clubs, Los Blancos are not entertaining loan offers or transfer discussions under any circumstances. The message from within the club is unwavering: “He’s the striker of the future.”

Madrid’s long-term vision for Endrick remains unchanged, even though he has not been a regular starter since his arrival. The club views his development as a priority and considers patience an essential part of his path to greatness.

Internally, the hierarchy is unfazed by his current lack of minutes, recognising the fierce competition he faces in the current squad, which includes the likes of Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham in attacking roles.

Real Madrid have complete faith

Real Madrid invested €35 million upfront to sign Endrick when he was just 16 years old. That decision was not taken lightly. They believed then—and continue to believe now—that they secured a generational talent and he will thrive at the very highest level.

Endrick, for his part, is fully committed to succeeding at Real Madrid, even if he has expressed some concern about his playing time. His main objective is to earn a spot in Brazil’s squad for the 2026 World Cup, and for that, he needs to be playing regularly.

The striker communicated this ambition to the club, but was met with reassurance rather than resistance. Madrid have made it clear that they have full confidence in his progression and believe that his breakout will come soon.

Real Madrid have rejected many offers

The allure of regular minutes elsewhere was strong. Clubs from the Bundesliga and other top European leagues offered him starting roles and the chance to feature prominently in continental competitions.

However, every single approach was rejected by Real Madrid. Even in January, when a couple of Bundesliga sides tested the waters, Madrid gave a definitive “no.”

In an era where top talents are often loaned out for seasoning, Real Madrid have opted to keep their future No. 9 close, nurturing him within their world-class structure.

The club is convinced that training alongside the best players in the world under elite coaching will accelerate his development more than any loan spell could.
