Real Madrid forward considering loan exit in January amid interest from AS Roma
Real Madrid’s mixed start and early season disappointment hasn’t only been limited to the players who have played consistently this season.
Endrick is one such player who is having a difficult time at Real Madrid, after opting to stay and fight for his place in the first-team.
Coming on the back of a stellar loan spell at Lyon last season, Endrick was close to joining AS Roma on loan in the summer, but he stayed at the request of Jose Mourinho.
Endrick now considering January exit
However, once we approach the January transfer window, Endrick could look to finally leave Real Madrid on yet another loan deal.
According to MARCA, the Brazilian international has once again started to consider an exit from Real Madrid in January.
The forward is extremely unhappy over his lack of minutes at the club. He has featured in just four minutes of action so far in all competitions.
While a pre-season injury did see him miss a few matches, he has struggled to get game-time even after returning to full fitness, even as he plays for the Brazilian national team.
Real Madrid’s big-name front trio of Kylian Mbappe, Yan Diomande and Vinicius Jr., coupled with Carlos Espi’s impressive showing has seen Endrick fall behind in the pecking order.
Roma remain interested
Endrick should have no shortage of suitors if he decides to leave Real Madrid on a loan deal in January, with AS Roma still keen on signing the forward.
Given his talent and the way he performed at Lyon, one would imagine there would be other clubs rushing for his signature, with AC Milan being a potential option as well.
For now, though, Endrick will look to perform well whenever given the opportunity. He is expected to feature in Brazil’s upcoming friendly against India in Kolkata.
It will be vital for the forward to not just perform well but also avoid any injuries, as he patiently awaits the January transfer window.

Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham makes England history with phenomenal four-goal contribution vs Croatia
Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham has not put a foot wrong since the World Cup in North America in the summer.
He has been scoring and creating chances for fun for both England and Real Madrid, and that trend has carried into the international break.
Bellingham has produced another reminder of his extraordinary attacking influence, with the Madrid midfielder making England history after recording four goal involvements in a single match, which came against Croatia (1G, 3A).
According to Opta, Bellingham became the first England midfielder to achieve the feat since David Platt recorded four goal involvements against San Marino in February 1993.
Bellingham ends 33-year wait
That means more than three decades have passed since an England midfielder last managed what Bellingham has just produced.
That statistic is another illustration of why Bellingham cannot simply be judged as a conventional central midfielder.

His ability to arrive around the penalty area, create chances and directly influence goals gives him an attacking dimension that very few midfielders possess.
Four goal involvements in one international match is exceptional regardless of the opposition or circumstances.
Doing something no other England midfielder had managed since 1993 puts the performance on a much higher pedestal.
Mourinho has an extraordinary weapon
Mourinho already knows how valuable Bellingham can be when given the freedom to operate close to Madrid’s attack.
His ideal position will always be a dilemma. He has the physical qualities to contribute deeper, the technical ability to help progression and the intelligence to operate between the lines.
However, performances like this are precisely why Madrid should be careful about moving him too far away from goal.
Bellingham’s greatest quality might be that he does not need to dominate possession to dominate a football match. He knows the exact moment to be decisive.
Bellingham returns to Madrid in spectacular form
International breaks can often make Madrid nervous, particularly when key players are involved, but Bellingham will return having enjoyed an extraordinary time with England.
The numbers speak for themselves. Madrid possess plenty of attacking talent, but Bellingham is the glue that holds everything together.
Mourinho’s task is to build a structure that maximises that, and judging by Bellingham’s start to the season, he has done it to a large extent.
It remains to be seen whether the England midfielder can sustain his form in the coming weeks and months for Real Madrid.
