Real Madrid Boss Jose Mourinho Takes Endrick, Kylian Mbappe Decision

Currently at the 2026 World Cup with the Brazil national team, Endrick will be able to count on the support of Jose Mourinho to finally establish himself under the Real Madrid jersey next season.

Arriving from Palmeiras in the summer of 2024 for a check of around $66 million, Endrick has not yet justified the investment Real Madrid made in him when he was only 16 years old. It must be said that, despite all his goodwill, the Brazilian striker was not given the best conditions by Carlo Ancelotti or Xabi Alonso.

Will that be different under Jose Mourinho, the new Real Madrid coach? Probably yes, given that Marca reports that Endrick will not be placed on the transfer list for this summer transfer window.

After evaluating his squad alongside his president, Florentino Perez, the Special One has decided to keep Endrick. Returning from a fruitful loan under the Lyon jersey, with whom he scored eight goals and delivered eight assists in 21 matches during the second half of the season, the Brazilian showed a different face than at Madrid.

But at Madrid, the former Lyon player will be able to count on the support of his new coach, who considers him an important option for the upcoming season. Seduced by the physique and power of his striker, Mourinho plans to play Endrick on the right side, as per the cited outlet. The Portuguese is especially convinced that, as he showed with Lyon, the Brazilian will be better if he manages to string together matches.

Recruited to play in the center, Endrick saw Kylian Mbappe take his place. And knowing that the Frenchman will continue to occupy that position in the years to come, Endrick will have to try to make his mark on the right, where he also shone under the Lyon jersey.

By showing excellent qualities on the flank, the Brazilian will also have a clear path, knowing that Franco Mastantuono could be loaned out and that Rodrygo is still in the recovery phase after his serious knee injury. Suffice it to say that Endrick will have all the cards in hand to finally establish himself at Real Madrid.
