Despite Carlo Ancelotti’s advice to go out on loan, Endrick is determined to stay at Real Madrid. The Brazilian starlet believes he can follow in Vinícius Jr.’s footsteps and build a lasting legacy at the Bernabéu.
Even after former coach Carlo Ancelotti advised him to leave on loan to gain more playing time and secure his place in the 2026 World Cup, Endrick has made it clear that he wants to remain at Real Madrid. The 18-year-old forward is convinced that, under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, he can play a leading role at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Belief in the “stay and shine” path
The main reason Endrick rejected approaches from two La Liga clubs is that he and his representatives do not believe a loan move guarantees success. In fact, history shows the opposite: players like Reinier and Luka Jović struggled after leaving on loan, while young stars such as Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and Arda Güler rose to prominence by staying and fighting for their place at Madrid.
Among them, Vinícius Jr. is the most cited example by Endrick’s camp. The Brazilian forward overcame early doubts, gradually earned his spot, and is now one of the most crucial players in Real Madrid’s squad.
A burning desire to conquer the Bernabéu
Endrick believes he can follow the same path. With his immense talent, determination, and ambition, he is confident of building a long and successful career with Los Blancos.
His outright rejection of negotiations with two La Liga clubs demonstrates his conviction. Endrick has placed full faith in himself and is ready to prove to the coaching staff that he belongs in the white shirt of Madrid.
👉 Endrick has chosen the harder path—not the easier option of going out on loan for guaranteed minutes, but the challenge of staying at Real Madrid, fighting for his place, and making a name for himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
