Real Madrid open to loaning out teenage prodigy next summer if Ancelotti stays
While Arda Guler is finally earning some recognisition in the Real Madrid first-team, his colleague Endrick has had a much more difficult time.
Joining from Palmeiras on the back of immense expectations, Endrick has struggled to make an instant impact at the Bernabeu.
The youngster has featured in only 12 competitive matches this season, during which he has started only once. In fact, the forward is still awaiting his maiden start in La Liga, even as we approach the midway point of the campaign.
Real Madrid open to loaning out Endrick
As Endrick’s struggles at Real Madrid continue, a recent report from Defensa Central has offered an update on the forward’s future.
The report points out that the continuation of Carlo Ancelotti could see the Brazilian leave Real Madrid on a loan deal.
This is hardly surprising as the Italian has been quite hesitant in giving chances to younger players in the team.
This has ultimately resulted in Endrick’s slow start to life at Real Madrid. The club, therefore, are open to loaning the player out, but only if Ancelotti continues for another season.
There are no shortage of suitors either, with Endrick being linked with a move for Real Valladolid earlier in the season.
After all, it is no secret that Ronaldo Nazario is a huge fan of Endrick and would be more than willing to sign him for Valladolid this term.
Apart from Valladolid, several Premier League clubs are also tracking the progress of Endrick and could come knocking, if Real Madrid decide to sanction a loan deal.

Mourinho considering starting 23-year-old Real Madrid ace against Villarreal – report
After impressing during the international break, Eduardo Camavinga has a major opportunity to establish himself in Real Madrid’s midfield rotation.
Indeed, according to Defensa Central, Jose Mourinho is considering starting the Frenchman against Villarreal, with injuries and doubts over several players limiting his options.
Real Madrid cannot afford to drop points against Villarreal if they want to remain in the title race. However, Mourinho has issues to deal with in the squad, which could lead him to turn to Camavinga for a crucial role.
Camavinga could replace Tchouameni in midfield
The 23-year-old star could line up as the defensive midfielder in the double pivot, with Bernardo Silva or Arda Guler alongside him, and will be tasked with providing balance in midfield.
Real Madrid face Villarreal with several problems in central defence. Ibrahima Konate is expected to be a late call, leading Mourinho to consider moving Aurelien Tchouameni into defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Meanwhile, Federico Valverde could also struggle to be ready after the ankle injury he sustained in the derby before the international break.
The Uruguayan has continued to work individually away from the group and might return to group training tomorrow. Even then, his readiness to start remains in question.
That would leave a place open in midfield, with Camavinga in line to fill in.
Camavinga impressed during the international break
Camavinga has started only one match this season, the defeat against Real Betis.
Despite his limited opportunities, Mourinho is keen to bring the Frenchman back into the fold after he impressed for France during the international break.
Zinedine Zidane called the Real Madrid star up for his first France squad, and the midfielder performed well during the break.
That has given Mourinho and Real Madrid reason to be optimistic about using him against Villarreal, with the hope that he can move closer to the level he showed after first arriving at the club.
Therefore, the Villarreal match could represent an important test for Camavinga and a chance for the Frenchman to show that he can provide the balance Real Madrid need in midfield.

Ancelotti has proven to be wrong before with Odegaard, Gutierrez, and Rafa Marin. Maybe it’s best Ancelotti leaves in order for Madrid to attract young talents to sign with the club.
