Endrick Loan Transfer: Marseille and PSV Battle for Real Madrid Starlet
Real Madrid’s teenage forward Endrick could be heading out on loan this summer, with Olympique de Marseille and PSV Eindhoven both actively pursuing the 18-year-old Brazilian, according to Placar via Sportal.
Signed from Palmeiras for €35 million plus €25 million in add-ons, Endrick arrived at the Bernabéu with high expectations. However, he has struggled to secure regular minutes since joining the Spanish giants and has found himself low in the attacking pecking order.
Endrick Faces Fierce Competition at Real Madrid
One key obstacle to Endrick’s breakthrough has been the meteoric rise of Gonzalo Garcia, who has been a revelation at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. Garcia has scored four goals in the tournament and has started every match, further limiting Endrick’s opportunities.
As a result, Real Madrid are open to sending Endrick on loan to help him gain valuable first-team experience in European football.
Why a Loan Move Makes Sense
Both Marseille and PSV Eindhoven have made enquiries about the Endrick loan transfer, with Marseille reportedly initiating contact with Real Madrid over a potential deal. A move to either Ligue 1 or the Eredivisie would offer the forward increased playing time and less pressure, aiding his development.
Endrick Eyes Brazil World Cup Spot
The young forward is aware that regular club football will be vital if he hopes to impress Brazil national team coach Carlo Ancelotti and secure a place in the squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Still just 18, Endrick possesses raw talent and immense potential, but a temporary switch away from the Spanish capital appears to be the logical next step for his development.
