Despite not having closed any deal, Real Madrid remained very active during the past winter market. Over time, new details of what happened are becoming known, and the latest has been quite surprising. In France, both L'Équipe and RMC Sport have announced that Marsella tried to secure the signing of Endrick, trying to take advantage of his few minutes at Santiago Bernabéu.
After transferring one of their forwards, Marsella went all out to take Endrick from Real Madrid. They even tried to contact the Brazilian's agents to explore his signing, but the reply was clear. "Absolute no," since Florentino had no intention of parting with the young forward, who is adapting as quickly as he can to Europe.
Marsella tried to convince Real Madrid to part with Endrick, but it was clear at all times at Santiago Bernabéu. The Brazilian is seen as having star potential, and no one wants him to slip away. Although Ancelotti isn't using him much, the reality is that no one is thinking about his departure... At least at this precise moment.
He hasn't played much. Endrick has accumulated 400 minutes in 22 matches. The number of games is large, mainly because Ancelotti has often brought him on in the final moments of the match. Despite this, he has scored 5 goals and provided an assist. This means he contributes to the goal every 80 minutes, which are very positive figures.
Vinícius applauds Florentino: Endrick is untouchable
Although this has now become public, the reality is that everyone in Real Madrid's locker room knew it. Endrick revealed this possibility to his closest teammates, but he was firm and guaranteed that he wasn't going to leave. Quickly, he received the approval of his friend Vinícius, who believes that if he continues like this, he will end up being important.
Vinícius believes his friend Endrick has star potential, he just lacks the minutes. It's not something that depends on him; he has to convince Ancelotti, but he's already doing it. Against Leganés, he left a good impression in the Copa del Rey.
There is no interest in Real Madrid in negotiating a possible departure of Endrick. He has a contract until 2030, with an inaccessible clause, and the plan is clear: he has to succeed at Bernabéu. He's only 18 years old, patience is needed, the best is yet to come...
