Endrick weighs January exit from Real Madrid amid playing time concerns

Real Madrid forward Endrick said his future at the club remains uncertain, leaving open the possibility of a departure during the January transfer window if his playing situation does not improve. The 18-year-old Brazilian international addressed his status following a match in Rome, where he scored a late equalizer.

Endrick, who has struggled for consistent minutes, indicated that while he is currently focused on his day-to-day development, he is prepared to move if necessary. "I take it day by day. If I have to leave in January, I'll leave; if I have to stay, I'll stay," Endrick said. "I will do whatever God puts in my heart."

Endrick expressed gratitude toward manager José Mourinho, noting that the coach has been one of the few to communicate with him genuinely. He emphasized his commitment to the team despite his personal frustrations regarding his role on the pitch. "While I'm here, my job isn't to play for the manager to win, but for Real Madrid," Endrick said. "But because of everything he is doing for me, I'm going to fight for him and for Real."
