Real Madrid forward Endrick is reportedly considering a departure from the Santiago Bernabeu during the January 2027 transfer window after struggling to secure regular playing time under Jose Mourinho. The Brazilian youngster is attracting interest from several European clubs, with Sporting CP and AS Roma emerging as potential destinations. Sporting, now managed by Paulo Fonseca, have already made an approach to sign the 20-year-old for the second half of the season, according to Spanish publication AS.
Real Madrid Transfer News: Endrick Considers January Exit
Endrick’s lack of regular opportunities has reportedly pushed him to reconsider his future at Real Madrid. Despite his considerable potential, the former Palmeiras forward has struggled to establish himself in Mourinho’s attacking setup.
According to AS, the Brazilian has managed just 140 minutes across seven appearances this season, starting only once, against Sevilla.
The situation is far from what the youngster had hoped for when he decided to remain at Madrid last summer. His proposed loan move to Roma had reportedly been close to completion before Mourinho intervened.
However, Endrick is now understood to be exploring opportunities elsewhere to ensure his development does not stall. Speaking about his future during Brazil’s international camp, the forward admitted that he wants to play regularly and enjoy his football.
He also made it clear that he has not made a final decision about what happens in January.
Sporting CP Make First Move As Roma Remain Interested
Sporting CP have emerged as serious contenders for Endrick’s signature after making an approach for the Brazilian.
The Portuguese club recently appointed Paulo Fonseca as their manager following his departure from Lyon. Fonseca previously worked with Endrick during the Brazilian’s loan spell in France and is reportedly keen on reuniting with him.
The partnership proved productive last season. Endrick registered eight goals and seven assists in 21 appearances across competitions for Lyon, making a strong impression during the second half of the campaign.
Sporting could offer him an opportunity to play regular football while competing in the UEFA Champions League.
Meanwhile, Roma have not abandoned their pursuit. The Italian club were close to signing Endrick last summer and remain interested in bringing him to the Stadio Olimpico in January.
