Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed speculation that Endrick will leave Real Madrid this summer, confirming the club has no intention of sending the young striker out on loan. The Brazilian forward has struggled for consistent playing time this season, leading to rumors of a temporary move elsewhere to aid his development.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the Italian manager made it clear that Endrick remains part of his long-term plans. Softfootball reports that Ancelotti sees a distinct role for the teenager, different from the wide forwards currently starring for the team. He said:
Because of his qualities, he will not be Rodrygo or Vinicius, he has other qualities.
Ancelotti expressed full confidence in Endrick’s potential as a central striker. He added:
He will be a fantastic striker, I have no doubt about that. There is no Endrick case at the moment.
Despite limited minutes, the coaching staff believes keeping him at the Bernabéu is the best path for his growth. The 18-year-old will continue to train with the first team, waiting for opportunities to prove he can lead the line for one of the world’s biggest clubs.
