Endrick’s future at Real Madrid could take a temporary turn this winter as Valencia prepare to revisit the forward’s situation. The Brazilian starlet remains valued by Madrid, yet the competition within the squad and his recent setbacks may shape whether a loan deal becomes a realistic option.
Valencia have signalled their intent to return for Endrick in January if his playing time remains limited. The club, which already explored the idea in the summer, sees the 19-year-old as a potential immediate solution for their striking needs. While Endrick opted to stay and compete for a place at Madrid earlier, Valencia now believe a short-term move could benefit both parties without forcing a permanent exit.

Real Madrid maintain firm confidence in Endrick as part of their long-term plans. His name is not on the market, and any winter switch would be strictly developmental. The challenge lies in the team’s crowded forward line: Kylian Mbappé occupies the central role, Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo continue as key players, Brahim Díaz and Franco Mastantuono push for minutes, and Gonzalo García’s rise has tightened the fight for attacking spots. Since arriving, Endrick has made 37 appearances and scored seven times across competitions, carrying a market value near €35 million.
An untimely injury slowed Endrick’s bid to secure significant minutes at the start of the season. With the next four months now crucial, much depends on his recovery and ability to carve out a steady role within Madrid’s rotation.
Should opportunities remain scarce, a loan would provide the consistency needed for his development. This scenario has long been discussed as a pathway if his role struggles to expand.

Valencia are preparing to “come back” in January with a loan request, carefully watching Endrick’s involvement through autumn. Real Madrid will not sell, but a loan could be granted to ensure steady progress if the crowded attack limits him further. Ultimately, Mbappé’s hold at No. 9 role, García’s emergence, and Endrick’s post-injury form will determine whether a winter move materialises.
